Avon Viaduct, Stone railway viaduct in Linlithgow Bridge, Scotland
The Avon Viaduct extends for 442 yards across the River Avon with 23 stone arches forming a continuous elevated railway passage.
Engineer John Miller supervised the construction of this railway bridge between 1839 and 1841 as part of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway development.
The structure received Category A listing status from Historic Environment Scotland due to its engineering excellence and architectural value to the region.
The viaduct maintains regular train service between Edinburgh and Glasgow while spanning the border of West Lothian and Falkirk Council areas.
Each of the 23 arches of the viaduct demonstrates the Victorian stone masonry techniques used to create this enduring transportation link.
