Description
Loch Ken Viaduct was built in 1861 by engineers D and E Blyth. This masonry and iron viaduct spans Loch Ken and features a curving design. It has symmetrical elevations with seven bays, including a concrete flat span and masonry round-arch spans over the river banks, as well as three main iron spans over the water. The masonry is made of rusticated bull-faced red sandstone. Drum masonry piers are linked by transverse arches, which support a strengthened bowed truss of double Warren type. The ferrous metal spans measure 51.8 metres. The small landward spans have a low masonry parapet with a metal rail above.
