Scope and Content Viaduct, Hawick Station, Hawick, Roxburghshire Hawick was the terminus of the Hawick branch of the North British Railway, opened in 1849, but this viaduct dates from the construction of the Border Union Railway from Hawick to Carlisle, which opened in 1862. This view shows the viaduct from the southern end. It was originally built as cheaply as possible, with sandstone arch rings and rubble spandrels. The poor quality of the latter led to extensive replacement in brick. The building of the line to Carlisle gave the North British its own cross-border route, which it marketed as the Waverley Route. Through trains ran to London via the Midland Railway's Settle & Carlisle line. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
