A Midlothian viaduct dating back over 160 years has been put back into use as construction work on the Borders Railway gets underway at various locations across Midlothian and the Scottish Borders.
With around 1.5 million tonnes of spoil to be excavated along the Borders Railway route, it is clear why earthworks have been the main priority for the project during the relatively settled weather in spring and early summer.
Work began in early June building a diversionary route for the Edinburgh city by-pass, to the east of the Sherrifhall roundabout.
