Neidpath Viaduct, Railway viaduct near Peebles, Scotland
The Neidpath Viaduct spans the River Tweed with eight stone arches, each measuring 9.9 meters wide and rising 9.75 meters above the water.
Built in 1864 for the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway, the viaduct operated until its closure to passenger traffic in 1950 and complete shutdown in 1954.
The structure earned Category A listing status from Historic Environment Scotland for its engineering excellence in skew arch construction methods.
The viaduct now functions as a walking path, connecting to local trails and offering views of the River Tweed and surrounding Scottish Borders landscape.
The bridge features a curved design with a 400-meter radius and descends 1.8 meters from west to east to align with Neidpath Tunnel.
