Details Railway viaduct built for the 'Buchan Line', the Dyce-Fraserburgh branch of the Great North of Scotland Railway, carrying the railway over the River Don. The Buchan line was a branch. It is 64m long, of 3 spans with segmental arches, brick arch rings and rubble spandrels. The original plan, by Alex Gibb, dates from 1860. A temporary support for the south abutment was needed in 1957. The line closed to regular passenger traffic in October 1965. It spans the Aberdeen City-Aberdeenshire boundary.
