Railway Bridge Collapses into River Spey

A historic viaduct, the Garmouth Viaduct, collapsed into the River Spey in Moray, Scotland, this morning. Originally built in the 1880s as a railway bridge, it had recently been repurposed for walkers and cyclists. Local MSP Richard Lochhead expressed the community’s heartbreak over the loss of the beloved landmark, while Moray Council has closed the area for safety assessments. The viaduct, a significant structure, has faced past structural issues due to flooding.
