Falkirk Tunnel
Highlight • Bridge
The tunnel now features an improved lighting system using colorful LED and traditional white lights to highlight the Victorian engineering, contrasting with the oil lamps that originally lit the tunnel when it opened. In 2016, a programmable lighting system was installed in the tunnel. Nevertheless, the lighting conditions in the tunnel are not particularly bright, it is more of a diffuse light.
The Antonius Wall runs over the tunnel; it was part of the British Limes and the second large rampart built by the Romans in the north of Britain.
