Name and dates

Ardchyle Viaduct (1873-1965)

Opened on the Callander and Oban Railway.

Description

This is a disused masonry single track three arch viaduct just west of the former Killin Junction station crossing the Ardchyle Burn. The burn is very much lower than the surrounding ground making this a viaduct which is about the same height as it is in length.

The viaduct was completed in 1871 by Easton Gibb.

It is roughly half way between the former distant and home signals at the west end of Killin Junction.
