The 442 yard 23 arch bridge was built in 1839-41 by John Miller, engineer for the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway.[1][2] The viaduct straddles the border between the West Lothian and Falkirk Council areas, so has two Historic Environment Scotland listings.[2][3][4] The viaduct is a category A listed building.[3][4] There is another Avon Viaduct located {{convert|4|mi|km}} south-east of Linlithgow. This Category B listed structure was built {{circa|1850}} for the Monkland Railways and is now disused. To distinguish it from the older viaduct it is usually referred to by the alternative name of Westfield Viaduct.[5] References{{Commons category|Avon Viaduct}}1. ^{{cite web|url=http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/47843/details/linlithgow+avon+viaduct/|title=Linlithgow, Avon Viaduct|publisher=RCAHMS|accessdate=28 March 2019}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst19088.html|title=Avon Viaduct|work=Gazetteer for Scotland|accessdate=28 March 2019}} 3. ^1 {{Historic Environment Scotland|num=LB15326|desc=Avon Viaduct|cat=A|access-date=28 March 2019}} 4. ^1 {{Historic Environment Scotland|num=LB12985|desc=River Avon, Edinburgh to Glasgow Railway Viaduct|cat=A|access-date=28 March 2019|fewer-links=yes}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst90905.html|title=Westfield Viaduct (Avon Viaduct)|work=Gazetteer for Scotland|accessdate=29 March 2019}} 6 : Bridges in Falkirk (council area)|Bridges completed in 1841|Railway bridges in Scotland|Category A listed buildings in Falkirk (council area)|Listed bridges in Scotland|Category A listed buildings in West Lothian |
