Glenfinnan Viaduct


The Glenfinnan Viaduct, an iconic railway bridge in Scotland, was completed in 1898 as part of the West Highland Line extension. Spanning 21 arches over 380 meters, it elegantly curves through the picturesque Glenfinnan Valley, offering breathtaking views of Loch Shiel and the surrounding mountains. Besides its architectural marvel, the viaduct gained worldwide fame as the route of the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films, making it a pilgrimage site for fans. Historically, it facilitated goods and passenger transport, playing a vital role in the region's development. Today, it stands as a testament to Victorian engineering prowess and a symbol of cinematic and natural beauty, attracting visitors from across the globe.
