Broomhill Bridge on the Spey ....................built in 1894, so it has outlasted many concrete bridges!

Fine looking structure - looks like something out of Bonanza. Next on the list of 'bridges to cross'.

I'm involved in a project to repair an old timber pier at Beaumaris on Anglesey. A noted spot for crab fishing!

An auld fishing pal emailed me some pics from 'way back when' recently - here's one. Name that bridge. Alternatively, hud ones wheesht if you know it instantly in order give those less knowledgeable a shout.

Somehow I knew that wouldn't last long. Rob - I know it looks very similar to the Logierait Bridge. Indeed. It's the old Victoria Bridge over the River Tay at Caputh, Glendelvine. You can just see the top of Miss Ballantyne's cottage. Local folklore has it that the bridge was constructed partly from girders taken from the ill fated original Tay Rail Bridge. Built in 1887 and replaced by the new bridge in the early nineties. Well done Windknot.
