Findhorn Bridge
In Tomatin; Old Findhorn Bridge over River Findhorn.
There are two trusses, each 98 feet by 36 feet, and they meet on a curiously split central pier. Each truss has two beams supporting a concrete deck which is secondarily supported by transverse beams. These are bowed, and correspond in their spacing to the verticals of the arcade under which they protrude lightly as bosses. The trusses are in situ concrete Vierendeel-type beams, 98 feet long. The river Findhorn runs 30 feet deep.
