Details	Cragganmore Railway Bridge opened in 1863 by Strathspey Railway, and built by G. McFarline, Engineer, from Dundee. It is circa 85 m in length. It is a single span bridge, constructed of iron girders with high sides made of narrow girders riveted together to form a lattice pattern. At either end there are two short plate-girder access spans, which now have ornamental cast iron handrails. The abutments and piers upon which the bridge rests are constructed from bullfaced blocks of rubble. It was closed to railway traffic in 1968, and now has a timber deck so it can be used as a footbridge.
