This disused railway, which follows the route of the Great Glen from Fort William, was built between 1897 and 1903. Despite intentions to continue the tracks from Fort Augustus to Inverness, this never occurred and the route was scrapped in 1946. This is one of the tunnels which was built over General Wade's Military road to accommodate it.

Old tunnel of the "Invergarry and Fort Augustus Railway", a route which was to close the gap between the West Highland Line and the Highland Main Line at the three lakes Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and Loch Ness, but never to Inverness was completed.

No lights, but the tunnel is not too long.
