The Glenfinnan Viaduct, used in the Harry Potter films, was once again lit up blue to show support with key workers and NHS workers.
In the last in the series of light-ups, the viaduct joined other attractions around Scotland in saluting the efforts of healthcare workers in the fight against coronavirus.
Glenfinnan Viaduct was the first structure to be lit up blue to support NHS workers in early April.
Since the illumination of Glenfinnan viaduct, Network Rail has lit up stations every Thursday evening including Glasgow Queen Street, Edinburgh Waverley, Findhorn Viaduct and the new Dundee station.
Alex Hynes, Managing Director at Scotland's Railway, said: “We are delighted to return to Glenfinnan viaduct and once again illuminate what many consider to be one of Scotland's most iconic structures as a symbol of public support for the vital and fantastic work of NHS staff who are tackling the coronavirus. As we move into the summer months, week by week, we were losing the battle against the light to do justice to our essential workers and iconic stations and structures. On that basis, we felt it an opportune moment to conclude this activity. We will continue to be humbled on a daily basis by the incredible dedication shown by staff in the NHS, and we are grateful to all key workers across the country, including our railway family, who are playing a massive role in supporting the country at this time.”
The lighting of Glenfinnan viaduct has been undertaken by the Stage Group, following the social distancing guidelines.
