The viaduct was built in 1862 to extend the route of the Border Counties railway line into Scotland. The railway company wanted to build it across the River North Tyne in front of the Duke of Northumberland's hunting lodge at Kielder Castle. Apparently the Duke insisted it should reflect the castle's Gothic style, hence why the structure is decorated with battlements and false arrow slits.
