Situated about 25m away from the tunnel taking the Red Burn under the big embankment and of similar build is this rather forlorn looking and smaller tunnel. With the absence of any history of mineral railways or tramways in the glen it might be that this was built as a passage under the embankment for pedestrians and horse traffic associated with the estate.
