The Glen Ogle Viaduct is a historic railway structure in the Lochearnhead area of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. It spans the picturesque Glen Ogle, providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
The viaduct was constructed as part of the Callander and Oban Railway, which was built in the late 19th century to connect the town of Callander with the west coast of Scotland.
It's an impressive stone structure with 12 arches and was built to carry the railway line across the steep-sided glen.
The disused railway line, including the Glen Ogle Viaduct, has been converted into a popular cycle path known as the Rob Roy Way. This path is now a part of the National Cycle Network (NCN 7), a long distance cycling route from Sunderland to Inverness.

Cycle path along old railway that avoids the dangerous main road up Glen Ogle. (Be warned that the drop through the forest to Killin from the top of Glen Ogle may start on tarmac path; but soon turns to rough forest access tracks. Can ride with care on 35mm touring bike, would be cautious on skinner tyres or your best carbon road bike.)

Lovely cycle along route 7. The old Callander-Oban railway. Passing over the 12 stone arched viaduct. Stunning 😍
