Sea wall at Craigendoran

While the incoming tide does reach the wall, the water level at high tide does not reach far above its base; presumably, the height of the wall is largely dictated by its other role, as an embankment for the railway line (compare Image). The photograph was taken from near the south-eastern end of the wall. The railway line closely follows the top of the wall until the latter comes to an end about 450 metres further ahead. Also located near that point is Craigendoran Junction, where the West Highland Railway begins, branching from the main Dumbarton-to-Helensburgh line (see the 1:25000 map).
