Aberfeldy Golf Course bridge : The footbridge over the River Tay between the old and new portions of Aberfeldy Golf Club was built in 1990 and won the 1993 Saltire Award for Civil Engineering Design for ist innovative maintenance-free, plastic construction. With an overall length of 113m it is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's longest composite bridge.

Golf course bridge : This innovative Fibre Reinforced Polymer bridge across the river was built to provide access for golfers to a course extension on the north side of the river. This view is looking back towards the town and clubhouse from the centre of the bridge. The photographer's six foot tall assistant is standing at the far end of the bridge.
