Viaduct of similar construction to Dalguise Bridge designed by Joseph Mitchell. It has two spans of 137 ft and side openings of 4112 ft, the latter now carrying a local access road.
Unlike Dalguise Viaduct (masonry catellated towers), Logierait was provided with sets of iron towers reminiscent of locomotive funnels.
This use of iron was probably an economy measure on the Aberfeldy Branch which operated, none too successfully in commercial terms, for a century, being closed in 1965. Logierait viaduct was built by
Macdonald & Grieve.
