Culloden Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Highland, Scotland

The Culloden Viaduct stretches 1800 feet across the River Nairn valley with 29 red sandstone arches, including a central span measuring 100 feet.

Engineers completed this transport link in 1898 as part of the Inverness and Aviemore Direct Railway, following financial difficulties that led to a change of contractors.

The structure received Category A listed status in 1971, marking its importance as the longest masonry railway viaduct in Scotland.

Visitors can observe the viaduct from multiple locations, including a narrow road that passes through one of the ground-level arches near the River Nairn.

The viaduct stands near the Bronze Age Clava Cairns burial grounds and the 1746 Culloden battlefield, connecting different periods of Scottish history.
