BridgeName and dates
Gairney Viaduct (1870-1964)Opened on the Devon Valley Railway.
Description
This is a disused six arch single track arched stone viaduct over the Gairney Burn, a tributary of the River Devon. The viaduct is 360ft long and 110ft tall with arches of 45ft. The Gairney is in a deep ravine resulting in very tall piers. The viaduct is a mile south west of the former Rumbling Bridge [2nd] station and just east of Devonshaw Siding.
This is the only large viaduct on the route still intact. Other bridges existed further west at Dollar Viaduct (piers remain) and [[Glenfoot Viaduct) (on the S&DR of which piers remain) both of which were girder viaducts.
