Location of Dalguise Viaduct in Perth and Kinross

The Dalguise Viaduct is a lattice girder viaduct in Dalguise, Perth and Kinross, Scotland.[1] It carries the Highland Main Line railway across the River Tay. Built in 1863, it was designed by Joseph Mitchell, for the then-new Inverness and Perth Junction Railway.[2] A Category A listed structure,[2] it stands about 0.44 miles (0.71 km) north of the now-disused Dalguise railway station.

The viaduct is in two parts; the southern one being 210 feet (64 m), the northern 141 feet (43 m). The ironwork was supplied by Sir William Fairbairn & Sons, of Manchester.
