Stranded Railway Bridge
Image: © Keith Burns Taken: 16 Mar 2011
Well preserved stone arch bridge carries the unclassified road from Bonnington Linn to Douglas Water over the flooded cutting of the old Caledonian Railway line from Lanark to Poniel Junction. The adjacent landscape has ploughed and cultivated the line of the railway into total oblivion, with only this fossil trace of our railway heritage hereabouts. The resultant pond is a biologist's and swimmer's dream location.
