Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox bridge The Avon Viaduct carries the railway over the River Avon at Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland.

The Шаблон:Convert, 23-arch bridge was built in 1839–1841 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 Шаблон:Convert south-west of Linlithgow; this Category B listed structure was built Шаблон:Circa 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]

These two viaducts are further not to be confused with the nearby Avonbank Viaduct located Шаблон:Convert downstream and to the north-west. The Avonbank Viaduct was opened by the Slamannan and Borrowstounness Railway in 1847 and now carries the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway over the river.
