The Glenfinnan Viaduct

About:

The Glenfinnan Viaduct, an engineering marvel nestled in the Scottish Highlands, spans 380 meters (1,250 feet) and stands as a testament to Victorian railway architecture. Completed in 1898, this curving viaduct comprises 21 arches and rises 30 meters (100 feet) above the ground. Its iconic appearance is accentuated by its scenic surroundings, including Loch Shiel and the Glenfinnan Monument. Famously featured in the Harry Potter film series, the viaduct adds a touch of enchantment to its structural significance. The steam trains that traverse this viaduct offer a nostalgic journey through a landscape that blends history, engineering, and natural beauty seamlessly.
