Name and dates

Rathillet Mill Bridge (1909-1964)

Opened on the Newburgh and North Fife Railway.

Description

This is small double track arched bridge over a minor road, crossing on an oblique. It is listed 'C'. It is typical of the line's bridges which were built in mass concrete.. The line was single track, the structures double track to allow future doubling which was never proceeded with. Many of the route's bridges were demolished, or were girder bridges, but this one remains standing. The arch is brick lined.

The bridge is west of Kilmany and just north of Rathillet Siding between Stirton Mill and Rathillet Mill.

The line closed to passengers in 1951 and closed as a through route in 1964.
