Comments :

The bridge was built to replace the fine stone one swept away in February 1989. Built in 1862 by Joseph Mitchell for the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway, it had five segmental spans of 75 feet each over the water (and these fell), and a further six span on the banks, which remain - a total length of 669 feet.
