Viaduct [NAT]

OS 1:10,560 map, 1968.

This viaduct was built by Formans & McCall of Glasgow (engineers), Lucas & Aird of London (contractors) and Alexander Findlay & Co of Motherwell (steelworkers) to carry the West Highland Rly (a subsidiary of the North British Rly) across an old river-bed; it opened on 11 August 1894, and remains in use. It is of lattice girder type and is built partly on a curve of 12 chains radius. There are nine spans of 70 ft 6 ins (21.5m) within its 684 ft (209m) length and the piers of locally-quarried granite were founded on boulder clay.

M Smith 1994.
