This viaduct was designed by Joseph Mitchell to carry the [Aberfeldy branch of the] Inverness and Perth Junction Railway across the River Tay and opened on 9 September 1863 at a cost of £13,772. It remains in use. It is of lattice girder type on cast iron piers and measures 420ft (128m) in overall length and 49ft (14.9m) in height; it comprises two spans of 137ft (41.8m) and another two of 41ft 6 ins (12.7m). The cylindrical piers measure 8ft (2.4m) in diameter and are weighed down with masonry rubble filled with Portland cement, the additional side spans being added as a protection against damage from floodwater. [HER] The railway was closed in 1966. The width between railings is 4,09 m.
