Also known as Teviot Viaduct.

An impressive, but little-visited large masonry viaduct built on a curve, with skewed spans over the River Teviot.

An interesting iron footbridge runs alongside the viaduct, supported by its piers. See Roxburgh Viaduct Footbridge.

Built 1849-50 by the North British Railway to connect the Edinburgh Waverley line at St Boswells with Kelso.

There are 14 segmental arches, 6 of which are skewed. Maximum height approx 70 ft.

Responsible Engineer: John Miller. Resident Engineer: G. Glennie.

1968 Railway closed

The viaduct is now part the Border Abbeys Pedestrian Way.
