Leaderfoot Viaduct

Leaderfoot Viaduct
The Leaderfoot Viaduct crosses the Tweed around 800 m east of Newstead. The viaduct spans the river with 19 round arches.

The viaduct was built by the Berwickshire Railway; it was opened in 1865. After severe flooding in August 1948, numerous bridges along the railway line were badly damaged. Passenger traffic was stopped in the same month. Freight traffic, however, continued until the line was finally closed in 1965. Today the viaduct only serves as a pedestrian bridge.
