Viaduct [NAT]
OS 1:10,000 map, 1979.
The viaduct formerly carried the Penicuik branch of the North British Rly (now a public walkway) over the River North Esk to the SE of Auchendinny village (NT26SE 88) and to the N of Old Woodhouselee Castle (NT26SE 10). The river here forms the boundary between the parishes of Glencorse (to the W) and Lasswade (to the E).
The Penicuik branch (from Rosewell and Hawthornden) was built by the Penicuik Rly, and closed to regular passenger traffic on 10 September 1951.
The location assigned to this record defines the apparent midpoint of the structure. The available map evidence indicates that it extends from NT c. 25739 61604 to NT c. 25848 61620.
