Stroan Viaduct

This article is about Stroan Viaduct, 1 mile W of New Galloway Station, across Black Water of Dee. Four arches, piers and abutments of masonry. Built 1860 by McNaughton and Waddell. Still standing in all its excellence, it can be crossed on foot showing some of the amazing views available to those who enjoyed "the port road" journey all those years ago.

This viaduct was built for the Portpatrick Railway and opened on 12 March 1861. Today the viaduct itself forms part of a walk from Mossdale(New Galloway Station) to Loch Skerrow. Immediately below are a few pictures showing the amazing scenic nature of the Port Road line, an idyllic place and well worth a visit for stunning views.
