To the south of Larkhall stands Broomhill Viaduct, built by the Arrol Brothers between 1898 and 1904 and claimed to be the tallest viaduct in Scotland. (The structure is also referred to as Larkhall Viaduct, Avon Viaduct and Morgan Glen Viaduct.) View north across the valley towards Larkhall in December 2005.

Looking south and off the Broomhill Viaduct (often referred to as Larkhall Viaduct). This is Scotlands highest girder viaduct. Today it is a dangerous structure. Keep off!
