The Findhorn Viaduct is a railway bridge approximately Шаблон:Convert east of the village of Tomatin in the Scottish Highlands, which carries the Perth to Inverness railway line over the valley of the River Findhorn.[1]

The bridge was designed and built for the Highland Railway between 1894 and 1897 by Murdoch Paterson,[2] their chief engineer, and John Folwer,[3][1] who also worked on the design of the Forth Rail Bridge.[4] It was opened to traffic on 19 July 1897.[2]

The bridge consists of nine lattice girder spans, constructed with double warren steel trusses, similar to those used by Fowler on the Forth Rail Bridge,[3] held up by slender, tapering[5] piers of tooled rubble.[3] Curving gently across the valley,[6] with an overall length of roughly Шаблон:Convert and standing Шаблон:Convert above the level of the river,[5] it is described as 'spectacular' by Benedict Le Vay.[7]

The bridge, which is still in active use,[2] was designated a Category B listed building in 1971.[3] It shares its name with another Findhorn Viaduct which crosses the same river near the town of Forres in Moray.[1]
