Bridge of Carron, Category A listed railway bridge in Moray, Scotland
The Bridge of Carron spans 150 feet across the River Spey with three cast iron ribs forming a segmental arch and masonry flood arches at both sides.
Built between 1862 and 1863 under engineer Alexander Gibb for the Strathspey Railway, the structure served both rail and road traffic until the railway closure in 1968.
The bridge exemplifies 19th-century Scottish engineering methods through its cast iron lattice work and rustic ashlar abutment piers with triangular cutwaters.
The structure now functions as a single-lane road bridge with an adjacent footpath, connecting the parishes of Knockando and Aberlour across the River Spey.
This bridge holds the distinction of being the final cast iron railway bridge constructed and operated in Scotland before its conversion to road-only use.
