Listed Railway Structures in Scotland

[Bittern]

Hey folks,

I'm interested in what listed railway structures there are in Scotland, but I'm more interested in structures that were once part of a railway but the line that used them no longer exists, such as say Lune Viaduct in Cumbria (and if anyone can tell me the last train that ran over that, that'd be great!).

Thanks.

Smallest listed structure: A milepost on the Edinburgh-Glasgow line.
Largest listed structure: The Forth Bridge.

Several active signal boxes are listed: Aviemore, Clachnaharry, Dunragit, Errol, Girvan, Kingussie, Montrose North, Pitlochry, Stirling Middle, Stirling North, Stonehaven

The best thing BR did was get privatized.

What rubbish.

Lune Viaduct - 1965

Forth Bridge has to be the most obvious one, as mentioned already

 

[Bittern]

Yeah I knew about that one. It's a Scottish icon.

Ahem.

as mentioned already

Yes. it was.
Quite clearly.

So is the Culloden Viaduct. (and rightly so).

So is my favourite, the Killiecrankie viaduct, though not in as much detail as I would like.

There are somewhere around 200 - 400 stations which are listed, as well as some independent structures such as foot bridges. Too many to list here.

Also, very many signal boxes, engine sheds, bridges and other structures have a listing. If you have specific queries, you can search on these web sites, but I can't guarantee that these 2 cover all the country's listed buildings:-
