North portal of Railway tunnel (19th Century, abandoned in 1978).

An unusual feature (at least for a railway tunnel in Scotland) are the vertical stone walls, above which is a brick arch ceiling.

Alternative Names: Alloa Tunnel

Notes: Curved outline shown on older OS maps.

Given coordinates are for the N portal. The south portal is now lost as the rail line was blocked by the construction of the Alloa Industrial Relief Road (connecting to Glasshouse Loan).
