Loch Nan Uamh Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Highland, Scotland
The concrete railway structure extends across Gleann Mama with eight arches, each measuring 50 feet in width, supported by a central concrete pylon.
The viaduct opened in 1901 as part of the West Highland Extension Railway, connecting Fort William to Mallaig through the Scottish Highlands.
The structure stands near Loch nan Uamh, where Prince Charles Edward Stuart departed Scotland in 1746 after the Jacobite uprising.
The viaduct remains operational today, carrying trains on the West Highland Line while the first arch spans over the A830 road underneath.
Radar scanning in 2001 confirmed the presence of a horse and cart remains within the central pillar, which fell during construction.
