Riddings Junction Viaduct

Riddings Junction Viaduct is a disused railway viaduct built in 1864 for the North British Railway, with minor alterations made in the late 20th century. The structure is made of rock-faced red sandstone and features nine sharply-skewed arches with channelled ashlar voussoirs, where the channelling runs diagonally across the arch soffits. These arches are supported by tapered rectangular piers. The viaduct has 20th-century brick parapets with concrete copings and a handrail. It is curved and originally carried a single line track over Liddell Water, which marks the border between England and Scotland. The Scottish section of the viaduct is located in the parish of Canonbie, within the district of Annandale and Eskdale.
