The Leaderfoot Viaduct

Last Autumn I was part of a group walk in Tweedbank, Scottish Borders. Destination: Leaderfoot Viaduct.

So here I am writing about it a few months later.

Even without the viaduct, the surrounding countryside alone was worth the walk.

We could not have had a better Fall day.

It very much reminded me of my Canadian walks in Caledon. The colours were similar. It was just missing the vibrant reds. However, the landscape was very much Scottish. Breath-taking.

It was exciting to see the bridge in the distance. It was like a build up in a film.

There standing over the River Tweed, the Leaderfoot Viaduct, also known as the Drygrange Viaduct, is a railway viaduct. The viaduct was opened in 1863 connecting the villages in the Scottish Borders.

It is wonderful that it is kept preserved for all to enjoy.
