Water of Luce (Luce) Viaduct: this structure spanned the Water of Luce, while the main road passed in a sweeping curve between its arches. Built of whinstone, it comprised eight arches of 42ft [12.8m] span; the height of the rail above road was 47ft 6ins [14.3m].
[This is presumably the viaduct across the Cross Water of Luce that a report written in 1892, after the takeover of the line by the Glasgow and South Western Rly, noted as having `piles split and thoroughly repaired¿.]
