Old railway bridge on the River Tweed. (Neidpath Skew Viaduct)

            Not too bad for a picture taken on a phone, from a coach, doing 40mph plus, on the A72, near Peebles, Scottish Borders.

The bridge looks like it is going uphill slightly, but if I rotate to counter this, the trees look as though they are falling over, so it is what it is!
The old line is now a footpath from Peebles to Biggar, (part still under construction) and will form part of a long distance footpath, The Upper Tweed Railway Footpath, connecting Symington, Biggar and Peebles to Edinburgh.

From the feasibility study -
"The Neidpath Viaduct of 8 skew arches (picture) crosses the Tweed on a gentle curve all set of by the magnificent woods rearing up on the hillside opposite Neidpath Castle.
Neidpath Tunnel follows almost immediately. It is 606m long, straight until near its eastern portal, and sound throughout. It suffers from a certain amount of water ingress and this together with a limited amount of pointing will make it fit for public use".
