Haughhead Viaduct
Half a mile east of Innerleithen station the Peebles Loop crossed the Tweed on Haughhead Viaduct. The 6-span iron plate girder structure, opened in 1866 by the NBR, saw its last rail traffic in 1962 when the line was closed between Hawthornden and Kilnknowe Junctions. Since then the viaduct has been refurbished with safety fencing installed and now forms part of a popular walking route. View west towards Innerleithen in 2008.
