Leaderfoot Viaduct
The Leaderfoot Viaduct, also known as the Drygrange Viaduct, is a railway viaduct over the River Tweed near Melrose in the Scottish Borders.
==History==
The viaduct was opened on 16 November 1863 to carry the Berwickshire Railway, which connected Reston with St Boswells, via Duns and Greenlaw.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gordon Station )〕
The engineers of the railway were Charles Jopp and Wylie & Peddie.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leaderfoot Viaduct )〕
The railway was severely damaged by flooding during August 1948, with 7 bridges on the line failing, and the line closed to passenger traffic on 13 August 1948.〔 Freight trains continued to run across the viaduct as far as Greenlaw until 19 July 1965.
In 1981, the poor condition of the viaduct meant that it was due to be demolished.
It was upgraded from Category B to A listing in 1986.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leaderfoot Viaduct (Ref:15145) )〕 Historic Scotland took over control of the viaduct from British Rail in 1996.
