Culrain Railway Viaduct and Bike Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bike path crosses the Kyle of Sutherland here as part of the railway viaduct. The bike bridge involves a section of metal steps on each side and a narrow metal grid bridge, it's fun but you will have to push across the bridge and carry the bike up and down the stairs.
The nearest alternative is the A836 at Bonar Bridge.

Shin Railway Viaduct and Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Shin railway viaduct (also known as the Oykel Viaduct) is a railway viaduct crossing the Kyle of Sutherland. The bridge forms part of the Far North Line between Inverness and Thurso. A footbridge was added to the northern side of the bridge in 2000 which is now part of the National Cycle Network Route 1. From the footbridge there is great view of Carbisdale Castle which was built for the Duke of Sutherland in 1907. There are a small number of stairs on either side of the footbridge.

Invershin Railway Bridge and View of River Oykel

Highlight • Viewpoint

These are actually two highlights in one. Because both the bridge itself, which you cross on a narrow bridge with metal grid floor, is spectacular as well as the breathtaking views of the river and Carbisdale Castle.
