Lower Largo
N/A
Lower Largo, Station Wynd, Old Railway Viaduct: the arrival of the railway in 1857 brought many tourists to Lower Largo's sandy beach. The village has retained many historic buildings from the 17th to 19th century and in 1978 it was designated as a conservation area. The viaduct remains a striking piece of architecture, dominating the view from the harbour. Built entirely in stone, it accommodated a single track & comprises four 60-foot arches, the deck of the river span being 60 feet above water level. Squared rubble was used for most of the structure, however the imposts on top of the piers and voussoirs are ashlar. Below the parapet is a sloped/rounded oversail. Down pipes drain water from the deck, attached to the spandrels & piers on both elevations. Pilasters are provided at both ends whilst the western abutment also features curved wing walls. At the east end, the approach embankment is supported by triangular retaining walls, at right-angles to the railway. The Fife Coast Railway line through Lower Largo was closed in 1965 as part of the restructuring programme of British Railways & though it has been disused since then, the viaduct that dominates the village remains an important local landmark.
