Laigh Milton Viaduct
Laigh Milton Viaduct, Stone railway viaduct in East Ayrshire, Scotland
The four-arch bridge spans 82 meters across the River Irvine, featuring segmental arches made of local freestone with a width of 5.8 meters.
Built between 1809 and 1811 under engineer William Jessop, the viaduct served as part of the first public railway in Scotland connecting Kilmarnock to Troon.
The structure represents early Scottish civil engineering achievements and maintains Category A listed status for its architectural significance.
Visitors can reach the viaduct through a footpath starting near Laigh Milton Mill, with interpretative plaques explaining its engineering features.
The internal steel framework installed during the 1995 restoration supports the original stone structure while preserving its historical appearance.
