Kilmarnock railway viaduct, Railway viaduct in Kilmarnock, Scotland.

The viaduct spans across Kilmarnock's center with 23 masonry arches constructed from local red sandstone and Dundee stone materials.

Built between 1843 and 1850 by engineers John Miller and Thomas Grainger, this structure formed part of the Glasgow-Kilmarnock railway line extension to Carlisle.

The viaduct received Category B listed status in 1971, marking its importance in Scottish railway architecture and industrial development.

Modern LED lighting systems installed in 2019 allow individual lamp control and maintenance while illuminating the structure throughout the night.

The viaduct defines the northern boundary of Kilmarnock's center and features blue lighting that matches the local football team's colors.
