The gracefully curved Risping Cleugh Viaduct near Leadhills on the Wanlockhead branch, built in 1891 by Sir Robert McAlpine & Co. The eight arch viaduct was of concrete construction clad with terracotta bricks to improve its appearance. It was demolished using explosives in December 1991. Some of the terracotta bricks were later used to clad the signal box at Leadhills station. See image 11099
