The 23 arch Newbattle Viaduct carries the railway across the valley of the South Esk, above a river and two public roads. At the north end of the viaduct the two arches spanning the river rest on a pier with deep curved cutwaters, seen here in August 2014. The scaffolding is in connection with inspection work being carried out as part of the preparations for the new Borders Railway.
