Falkirk Tunnel
This is the longest tunnel built in Scotland. Built in 1822 solely because the owner of Callender House denied permission for the canal to be dug within view of the house. The tunnel therefore had to be dug with picks, shovels and gunpowder, excavating through limestone and millstone grit. The tunnel is a least 3.6 metres high and 630 metres long. Quite a task!
The tunnel was lit as part of the Millennium Link Project in 2000 and there is an Underground/ Overground Circular walking route which you can visit.

There are railway tunnels and drive through channels in Scotland
Clyde is quite long. The children have developed games around it (how long can you hold your breath from entering the tunnel?) It seems that some can do the breath holding until they exit Clyde.
Whitrope Tunnel is 1,208 yards long, situated 12 miles South of Hawick on the disused Railway line, the Waverley Route. It is the fourth longest tunnel in Scotland
