Scope and Content Findhorn Viaduct, Tomatin, Inverness-shire This viaduct was opened in 1897 by The Highland Railway as part of their direct line from Aviemore to Inverness. It was designed by Murdoch Paterson. It is a nine span structure with double-Warren steel trusses on masonry piers. This view shows the viaduct from the west, and shows how it crosses the wide valley of the Findhorn. The new A9 bridge over the Findhorn now crosses the valley beyond the viaduct. This is the only large bridge of its type on the Highland system, though they were much used by the Caledonian and North British railways. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
