Scope and Content The Nairn, or Culloden, viaduct was constructed when the railway line from Aviemore was built to take a more direct route to Inverness. Previously the Perth to Inverness train had to go via Forres where it joined the Aberdeen line. The engineering difficulty presented by the topography included the bridging of the rivers Findhorn and Nairn and in both cases impressive viaducts were constructed. The Nairn viaduct is 28 spans, 549m in length, built on a curve and the longest in Scotland. It opened in 1898. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
