The famous Thomas Telford Iron Bridge over the River Spey at Craigellachie in Morayshire.


The Telford bridge's function was replaced by a reinforced concrete bridge built by Sir William Arrol & Co. which opened in 1970 and now carries the A941 road today. Telford's bridge remains in good condition, and is still open to pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge has been given Category A listed status by Historic Scotland and has been designated a civil engineering landmark by the Institution of Civil Engineers and American Society of Civil Engineers.
