Bridge

Name and dates

Crieff Viaduct (1893-1964)

Opened on the Crieff and Comrie Railway.

Description

This was a single track viaduct of around 114 feet to the west of Crieff [2nd] station which passed over the Turret Burn.

The viaduct was demolished after closure as was a considerable length of embankment to its east and a smaller bridge over the mill lade for Dallerie Woollen Mill. Like the viaduct, the mill has been demolished.

A little further east was Crieff Tunnel, just before Crieff [2nd] station.
