An impressive segmental masonry arch viaduct designed by and built under the direction of North British Railway Company engineer John Miller on the first railway to cross the Border, now the East Coast Main Line. The bridge has five spans of 30 ft and a main span of 135 ft about 110 ft above the burn, one of the largest masonry arches in Scotland.
