The 'slate arch' built in 1822 to haul empty wagons up an inclined plane to the Ballachulish Slate Quarries higher level workings, with full loads going down a larger arch nearby, now demolished. This is the only surviving built - as opposed to ground based - incline in Scotland. The old road to Glencoe passed underneath. The Pap of Glencoe is visible on the left in this June 2021 view.
