View 'across' the former Wolfclyde Viaduct
These piers are all that remain of a 110 metre-long railway viaduct which was built in 1858-60 to carry the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway over the River Clyde.
The line was subsequently acquired by the Caledonian Railway in 1861, with the line extended to Peebles in 1864, and eventually closed by 1966 (having closed to passengers in 1950).

Remains Of Coulter Viaduct
The viaduct supports are all that remain, both in the River Clyde and across the adjacent floodplain. For a photograph of the viaduct in March 1966, refer to http://www.railbrit.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete.php?id=6450 This viaduct was on the route of the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway which closed in April 1966.
An incoming prolonged blustery shower heads towards the scene, enveloping Tinto in the background.

Coulter Motte
Mottes were common features of the Scottish landscape in the 12C. They were fortified residences of feudal lords, and centres of local administration. On the flat top would have been a timber and clay building, protected by a timber palisade. Only the mound remains, the encircling ditch has been filled in, and there is no trace of bailey, courtyard, stables, brewhouse, bakery and other buildings.
