Raigbeg Bridge

Raigbeg Bridge viewed from above

Raigbeg Bridge crosses the River Findhorn near the village of Tomatin. The bridge is on the line of General Wade's military road and the first bridge at the location was a three arch stone bridge built by General Barrington to replace earlier fords. That bridge was destroyed by floods in 1829 and local landowners paid to have a temporary wooden bridge erected just downstream.

The current bridge is the third at this location and is constructed of cast iron lattice sides with a timber deck. The roadway is single track with a 3 tonne weight limit with a restiction of on a single vehicle to be on the bridge at a time. The road is unclassified and numbered as U2829.

The bridge was superseded by a new crossing, further upstream, built by Thomas Telford in 1833, on the site of the current Findhorn Bridge.
