Monkland Canal, Palacecraig Railway Bridge

Railway Bridge (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Palacecraig Railway Bridge spans the Monkland Canal in North Lanarkshire, a nineteenth-century structure built to carry rails above water. It is no longer a working canal, but the bridge remains, its stones worn smooth by time and traffic long gone. Perhaps it still hums faintly when wind moves through its arches, remembering the weight of trains that once crossed without breaking stride.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Monkland Canal, Palacecraig Railway Bridge as Railway Bridge (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
