From Leaderfoot Bridge, you can enjoy impressive views of the Drygrange Viaduct, which took two years to complete. Finished in 1865, it was part of the Berwickshire Railway connecting St Boswells and Renton. Although the line closed in 1948, Historic Scotland now maintains the viaduct. Together with Leaderfoot Bridge, the two structures create a striking and memorable sight.
