Victoria Bridge, Aberlour, Category A listed pedestrian bridge in Aberlour, Scotland
Victoria Bridge extends 287 feet across the River Spey, featuring lattice-girder spans supported by wire-rope cables and tapered lattice pylons with decorative finials.
James Fleming, founder of the Aberlour distillery, allocated £500 in his 1895 will for the construction of this bridge to replace a dangerous ferry crossing.
The structure earned the nickname 'The Penny Bridge' due to the initial toll charged to pedestrians crossing between Aberlour and Knockando parishes.
The footbridge connects the communities on both sides of River Spey, providing residents and visitors with a direct path across the water at coordinates 57.4704, -3.23168.
The bridge incorporates 2-inch diameter wire-rope cables and 34-inch diameter rod hangers, exemplifying early 20th-century Scottish engineering techniques.
