Blackhall Railway Viaduct
Blackhall Railway Viaduct, Category A listed railway bridge in Paisley, Scotland.
The Blackhall Railway Viaduct spans 73 meters across the White Cart Water with stone arches that demonstrate early 19th-century engineering methods.
Engineer John Rennie designed this structure in 1809 as a canal aqueduct, which later transformed into a railway viaduct for the Paisley Canal Line.
The viaduct represents the industrial development of Renfrewshire, marking a period when transportation infrastructure expanded across Scotland.
Visitors can observe the stone structure from multiple viewpoints along the White Cart Water, though direct access to the viaduct remains restricted.
The viaduct's transition from canal aqueduct to railway bridge demonstrates the adaptability of 19th-century infrastructure to changing transportation needs.
