What we do

The Logierait bridge is unique in Scotland as the only bridge owned by the community surrounding it. The bridge provides a vital link across the river Tay, and without it travellers would face a diversion of over six miles. A board of volunteers drawn from the community owners ensures that the bridge is maintained  and is available, and safe, to use for both locals and the many visitors who use the bridge. This includes commuters, businesses, farmers, and tourists. Savings of as much as £100 000 per year are achieved by this "short cut".

The bridge receives no funding from National or Local Government. It relies entirely on the regular support of its members and from donations from local and national organisations and charities. Hundreds of vehicles cross the river each day and the bridge forms part of two national cycle ways.

Originally part of the Highland line branch to  Aberfeldy  it carried freight  and  passengers for just a few months short of a century before closing in 1965.
