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.

A great crossing point. If your bike is heavily loaded be mindful of the steps as you’ll need to carry your bike up/down
