This is a standard Highland Railway lattice girder and cast-iron footbridge. It's copies can be found all over the Highland Railway system, I have seen them along the Kyle to Inverness, Fort William to Mallaig, and the Strathspey lines, and I suspect there are many, many more.
The Dunkeld to Pitlochry line opened on 1st June, 1863, and the Pitlochry to Aviemore line on 9th September, 1863. From 1865 the line was run by The Highland Railway Company and the style of rebuild is characteristic of this company in the late Victorian period. The line was taken over by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1922, and again in 1948 by British Rail.
The footbridges were built by Hanna, Donald and Wilson of Paisley whose makers plaque appears on each end of the bridge. They operated from the Abercorn Foundry and Abbey Works in Paisley from 1870 until winding up in 1910 and were gas and water engineers, iron founders and bridge and boiler makers. They also supplied civil and mechanical engineering services worldwide.
