This 122 m. long viaduct at the head of Kielder Water was built in 1862 by the Border Counties Railway which later became part of the North British Railway. It is a scheduled Ancient Monument.
The gorge is so narrow in this location that a long viaduct was needed to carry the railway through it. The result is one of the most spectacular railway scenes in Scotland. It is listed Grade B.
The Kilmarnock & Troon Railway Opened 1812 as a horse-drawn 4 ft-gauge plateway – the first in Scotland to convey passengers. Converted 1846 to a contemporary railway.
