Morar Railway Viaduct, Category B listed railway viaduct in Highland, Scotland.
The Morar Railway Viaduct extends across the River Morar with three concrete arches, including a central span of 27 meters supporting a single railway track.
Construction of the viaduct began in January 1897 under Robert McAlpine & Sons, leading to the opening of the West Highland Line extension in April 1901.
The viaduct represents a milestone in Scottish railway engineering, demonstrating the innovative use of mass concrete construction in challenging geological conditions.
The middle arch of the viaduct accommodates both the B8008 public road and the River Morar, maintaining essential transportation routes in the region.
The structure features rusticated concrete design elements, reflecting early twentieth-century engineering methods adapted to the local schist rock terrain.
