Kilmarnock railway viaduct

The Kilmarnock railway viaduct

Kilmarnock railway viaduct (1843 - 1850) is a bridge crossing the town centre of Kilmarnock. The bridge begins at Kilmarnock railway station and leads to destinations in England. It is a most distinctive feature of the town centre with 23 masonry arches. It was built in the 1840s to enable the Glasgow Kilmarnock line to continue to Carlisle.

The viaduct is currently lit by blue lights when it is dark, which makes it more of a noticeable feature in the town.
