Struy Bridge

The Struy Bridge is an early 19th-century, 5-span bridge built of coursed rubble, constructed between 1803 and 1821 for the Commissioners of Highland Roads and Bridges. The bridge crosses the River Farrar, which forms the boundary between the parishes of Struy and Kilmorack.

Architecturally, the bridge features dressed rubble arch rings which increase in size towards the centre, divided by triangular cut-waters rising to the full height of the bridge. These cut-waters initially form triangular buttresses before terminating as flat pilasters to the parapet. A tooled ashlar string course runs along the top, topped with a roughly tooled cope. Shallow end abutments are present, and the approaches are splayed, terminating in square piers. The spans measure 30 feet, 36 feet, 40 feet, 36 feet, and 30 feet respectively. The bridge is documented in Thomas Telford's Autobiographical Atlas of 1838 (plate 51, no 6).
