Scope and Content Dalguise Viaduct, Perthshire This is a large two-span lattice girder viaduct over the river Tay, built for the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway. It was designed by Joseph Mitchell, and the ironwork was made by Sir William Fairbairn and Co. This view shows the viaduct from the north west. The taller towers mark the ends of the spans, and the shorter ones the ends of the viaduct. The bank on the left is for flood protection. The viaduct is partly on the Atholl estates, and the castellate treatment was intended to make the advanced engineering of the iron spans acceptable to the Duke of Atholl.
