Railway tunnel near Killiecrankie with HR signals

A view of the railway tunnel at the end of the Killiecrankie Viaduct. A set of Highland Railway signals can be seen on the right.

The Killiecrankie Viaduct was built in 1863 by engineer Joseph Mitchell for what was then the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway. It carries the railway along the east side of the Pass of Killiecrankie.

Built at a cost of £5720, the 10-arched structure includes castellated towers at either end. The viaduct is 155.5 metres (510 feet) in length, 16.5 metres (54 feet) in height at its maximum. Each arch spans 10.6 metres (35 feet).

It was given listed building status (Grade B) in 1971 and underwent extensive repairs in the late 1990s.
