The viaduct was opened on November 16, 1863 to carry the Berwickshire Railway, which connected Reston with St Boswells, via Duns and Greenlaw. The engineers of the railway were Charles Jopp and Wylie & Peddie. The arches, each of 43 feet (13 m) span, are of brickwork, and the abutments, piers and walls are of rustic-faced red sandstone.
