Statement of Interest

Prior to the construction of the viaduct the only route across the Allan Water was the old Bridge of Dunblane which until 1849 was a poorly maintained mediaeval structure (see separate listing). The construction of the line of the Scottish Central Railway northwards through Dunblane on its way to Perth in 1846 made many additional changes to the fundamental changes to the town, most notably dividing the historic centre in two and facilitating the growth of villas to the east of the town in the mid to late nineteenth century.
