Thomas Telford _Craigellachie cast iron arch bridge across the River Spey at Craigellachie, Speyside, Moray, Scotland

---

A search has been launched to establish who actually owns one of Scotland's most iconic bridges. The Craigellachie Bridge in Speyside was built by Thomas Telford more than 200 years ago. The cast iron 150ft (46m) bridge is over the River Spey. It had generally been assumed the bridge was owned by Moray Council, which carries out maintenance. However, the local authority has confirmed it does not actually own the bridge. The Friends of Craigellachie Bridge group now aims to solve the mystery of who the owners are. It is hoped that establishing ownership could help the bridge become more of a tourist attraction.
