Scope and Content Leaderfoot Viaduct, near Newstead, Roxburghshire Built for the Berwickshire Railway, and designed by Charles Jopp and Wylie & Peddie, this viaduct has 19 spans, each of 13m. It is 37m from water level to the deck of the viaduct. This view shows the unusually slender piers. The Berwickshire Railway served the rich farming country of the Merse, but the district was sparsely populated, and the line was not reopened throughout when it was severed by floods in 1948. The two ends were used by goods traffic until the 1960s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
