Description
The Falls of Cruachan Railway Viaduct, designed by John Strain and completed in 1880, is a three-arch railway viaduct made partly of concrete. It features a castellated parapet and rectangular refuges that project outward on both sides of the central arch. The structure is supported by bull-faced stone piers with mass-concrete arches, which have incised voussoirs and soffits. The central arch is 41 feet high and spans 24 feet, while the flanking arches each have a span of 19 feet. A stringcourse runs along the base of the parapet, and the raised central crenellation displays a coat of arms along with the date of construction.
