This viaduct was built by Formans & McCall of Glasgow (engineers) and Lucas & Aird of London (contractors) to carry the West Highland Rly (a subsidiary of the North British Rly) across the Inveruglas Water at a height of 54 ft (16.4m). It opened on 11 August 1894, and remains in use. It is built of blue whinstone with concrete arches and is the only arched viaduct on the line. There are eight spans of 36 ft (11m) in its 396 ft (121m) length and the parapets were crenellated for decorative effect.
