Kirkliston Viaduct
Alongside the River Almond at Kirkliston under a low winter sun in January 2012. View south east, with the village off picture to the left and the Pentland Hills in the right background to the south of Edinburgh. The bridge carried the branch from Ratho (Lower) to Dalmeny and is now a walkway. The line closed to passengers in 1930 (Kirkliston being the only intermediate station) but continued to handle goods traffic, including a distillery at Kirkliston and a Navy victualling depot at the north end see image 36169 for many years, before closing completely in 1966.
