crusty there is a book for sale on amazon(hope its ok to mention them) called -the forth bridge by sheila mackay. judging by the front cover which is all you can see on the site, its full of photos of the construction of said bridge. i will maybe even invest £12.99 of my beer money on it :wink:

Had another lunchtime wander along the Clyde today and found the answer to something that had always puzzled me...

What the hell are those black pillars beside the Kingston Bridge for? (other than using as an impromptu tripod

)

Turns out they are for mounting theodolite reflectors. There was a team from the Cooncil Land Services surveying, must be checking to see if the bridge is sinking again.

I was actually going along to take pictures of what is left of the Finnieston/Stobcross ferry.

I wonder how long that new black paint will last un-tagged.. :roll:

Looks like work has started on everyone's favourite bendy bridge "Neptune's Way".

Some more Neptune's way news, the yacht place not very happy.

That would make it easier for them to clean it up... if they ever did.
