Opened on the Scottish Central Railway.This double track girder viaduct crosses the River Earn. The viaduct has two portions. There are four bowstring girders to the east which rest on large columnar piers, with circular shaped bracing. This portion is similar to Sandilands Viaduct, except only one 'circle' high, whereas Sandilands was four. To the west are 12 regular girders resting on stone piers and, between the two portions, one on a slant. The west portion crosses the floodplain alongside the river.
