Big Water of Fleet Viaduct One of the best railway viaducts which crosses the Big Water of Fleet 6 miles (10 km) northwest of Gatehouse of Fleet in Dumfries and Galloway, the Big Water of Fleet Viaduct was constructed in 1861 as part of the Portpatrick Railway.
In remote countryside to the north of Gatehouse, the route spanned Big Water of Fleet by means of a 300-yard viaduct. Each of its 20 segmental arches comprises six courses of brick whilst the spandrels are in stone. 1940 saw the piers strengthened with brick encasings and the two sides of the structure tied together using bullhead rail and connecting rods beneath the arches. During the Second World War, the port of Cairnryan was purpose-built as No.2 Military Port with three harbour piers and a railway linking it with Stranraer. Millions of tonnes of ordnance and supplies came into the UK, much of it being transported over the viaduct. Then, in 1943, the railway also helped to move US troops.
The line failed to survive the Beeching cuts, closing on 14th June 1965
