Camps Viaduct, Railway viaduct in West Lothian, Scotland.

The nine-span Camps Viaduct stretches 108 meters across the River Almond gorge, featuring segmental brick arches supported by rock-faced stone piers.

Built between 1865 and 1867 by J. & A. Granger, this viaduct connected limestone quarries to Coltness Iron Works and supported mineral transportation until 1959.

The structure received Category B listed status in 1971, marking its importance in Scottish industrial heritage and Victorian railway engineering achievements.

Located at coordinates 55.9001, -3.46303, the viaduct now provides a passage for pedestrians and cyclists within Almondell and Calderwood Country Park.

A severe accident in 1880 led to extensive repairs after two wagons and a guard's van derailed, falling from the 27-meter-high structure.
