Description

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

This concrete viaduct, by engineers Crouch and Hogg, was built in 1902-4 for the St Fillans to Lochearnhead section of the Caledonian Railway. It is a good example of early 20th century concrete engineering and of historical importance, related to the introduction of the railway to Loch Earn. It is one of a series of three such viaducts/bridges in St Fillans (see separate list descriptions).

5-span viaduct over Allt-An-Fhionn Burn, c80m long. Curved in plan. Channeled mass concrete, with 5 segmental arches. The parapet is defined by a string course and a projecting cope. Above each pier is a shallow refuge in the S parapet.

Materials: Concrete, cast iron rainwater goods.
