Bridge of Faillie


General Wade's military road south from Inverness crosses over this bridge. I expect the bridge was built as part of the road. Now a very minor road used by only local traffic.

Moy Viaduct


Constructed in 1887 Moy Viaduct is the last remaining timber bridge on a main line railway. For a number of years the structure has been suffering from severe fungal decay. In 2003 it was strengthened and repaired by the installation of a new structure within the framework. The timbers were treated to prevent further decay. The project received a number of awards.

Soay Sheep, Culloden Moor


The sheep are employed to bring the land back to what the vegetation was like at the time of the battle (so the NTS say). At least there's something alive still....
