Description

This disused three arch skew viaduct was built to carry two lines, but only one was laid (which would have been the northbound had two lines been laid). It crosses the Tarset Burn north west of the former Tarset station.

Tarset Hall is just to the south (and the site of Tarset Castle to the east).
