Carron Bridge (River Spey)
From Graces Guide
The Carron Bridge at Carron in Moray, Scotland crosses the River Spey between Knockando and Aberlour. It was built for the Strathspey Railway in 1863, to a design by Alexander Gibb of the Great North of Scotland Railway. William McKinnon and Co supplied the iron castings. It originally carried both the railway and a roadway, but the railway has been removed.
The main 150 ft (45.7m) span segmental arch has three segmental cast iron ribs. There are masonry flood arches on each bank, with spans of 25 ft (7.6m). It was the last cast iron railway bridge to be built in Scotland.
