TunnelName and dates
Auchentorlie Tunnel (1896-1964)Opened on the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway.
Description
This very short tunnel, with highly ornamental portals with armorial plaque at the east, carried the eastern driveway to Auchentorlie House, to the north west. The tunnel was to provide sufficient length to blind the railway from the driveway to avoid scaring horses. The tunnel was west of Bowling [CR].
The tunnel survives intact now carrying a very minor road over the trackbed, now a footpath/cycleway.
