The Carron Bridge is a bridge at Carron in Moray, Scotland, which crosses the River Spey between the parishes of Knockando and Aberlour. It was built for the Strathspey Railway in 1863,[1] to a design by Alexander Gibb,[2] an engineer for the Great North of Scotland Railway,[3] and fabricated by the iron founders William McKinnon and Co.[4] It originally carried both the railway and a roadway, but the railway has now closed.[1]
