Location formerly entered as NO 4518 1891 and NO 4514 1891 to NO 4523 1891.
For corresponding old and new road bridges (both adjacent to S), see NO41NE 1 and NO41NE 44 respectively.
Stone circular pillars from old Railway bridge. Metal and stone crossing has been removed.
Site recorded by Maritime Fife during the Coastal Assessment Survey for Historic Scotland, Fife Ness to Newburgh 1996.
This bridge formerly carried the Leuchars-St Andrews-Crail branch line of the North British Rly across the River Eden to the E of Guardbridge village (NO41NW 71). It has been partially demolished, only the paired piers remaining (on a curved alignment which bows out towards the S).
The river here forms the boundary between the parishes of Leuchars (to the W) and St Andrews & St Leonards (to the E).
The location assigned to this record indicates the midpoint of the structure. The available map evidence indicates that it extends from NO c. 45140 18913 to NO c. 45235 18908.
This bridge is not indicated on the 1982 edition of the OS 1:10,000 map.
