This is the west abutment of the bridge that carries the A95 over the trackbed of the Strathspey Railway, now the Speyside Way. It looks like Hopeman sandstone. Interesting to see that even in the shelter of the bridge, the sandstone is affected by erosion. Also interesting that in the middle, presumably where there is the least light, the masonry is free of algae and lichens.
