Description: Burntisland viaduct Burntisland Viaduct was constructed in 1888 and carries the main line from Edinburgh to Dundee. It comprises nine spans of half-through construction with wrought iron lattice main girders on each elevation supporting trough decking and ballasted track. The span geometry varies throughout. Six spans are simply supported on masonry piers, but the easternmost three are continuous over intermediate cast iron columns. The viaduct is a category C listed structure and forms a significant feature within the harbour area.
