Mavis Valley Railway Bridge

This little bridge is a treasure many local residents are unaware of unless they look carefully. Above thunders the traffic on the A803 Kirkintilloch to Glasgow road, but this little bridge allowed the mineral railway (single track) access all the way from Cadder Sidings to the Mavis Valley mine workings. Today, the bridge is used only as a pedestrian walkway under Kirkintilloch Road. The stone bridge portal can only be seen from this side (looking east) as the A803 was widened and a concrete portal added on the other side.
