Kilwinning Waggonway and Bridge is a transport infrastructure site located south-east of Saugh Trees in Ayrshire, Scotland. The waggonway represents an early form of industrial railway, constructed to facilitate the movement of coal and other goods in the region during the eighteenth or nineteenth century. The associated bridge formed a necessary component of this transport system, allowing the waggonway to traverse local topography. Such waggonways were precursors to the modern railway network and are significant monuments to Scotland's industrial heritage and the development of mechanised transport routes.
