  • We go back for another flight round Larkhall Viaduct this time flying across the track bed in both directions to recreate what it was like many years ago when trains were running across it. Then we fly very close down one side of the bridge so you can see the detail of the iron work and all of the names the people have written on the structure before we fly inside the viaduct itself all the way to the first pillar, pausing to look round at each section to capture views that are now impossible to see. We then move to the far side of the bridge and fly down what remains of the back walk way, very close to the iron structure pausing to look at pillars and ladders all of the way to the middle and pull back for a look at the other side of the bridge.
    Finally we fly to the wall and look at the spooky face!
    Enjoy the video, like and subscribe and if you need a photographer, give us a call!

    I was born in 1943 and lived in Larkhall from 1947 to 1950 and my mother often took me on a walk through Morgan Glen under the bridge which in those days was called Millheugh Bridge I seem to remember. She would point out wildflowers to me and if I was lucky a train would go over the bridge but I don't think I was ever on a train crossing it. I do - just - remember an LMS-labelled 2-6-4 tank engine at Larkhall Central station, and a train to Dalserf and Tillietudlem which my father always called Whistling Willie.
    It is a shame the viaduct can't be restored as a foot or cycle path. We're not very good at this in Scotland - think Largo, Leaderfoot, Shankend, all barricaded off.

      I moved to Larkhall in 1985 aged 5 and moved away in 1994 aged 14 and used to live quite close to the bridge, we used to walk up and play on it as kids; at that time it wasn't barricaded off and you could walk over top of it, it must have had some influence on me as I eventually became a bridge engineer growing up.

      Probably closed around 1964/65. I remember seeing trains on that part of the line when I attended Robert Smellie Primary School from 1959 to 1966.
