It\u2019s OUR bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scotland\u2019s famous Forth Bridge spans more than a body of water. It connects centuries, communities, land and sea, past and present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, beyond the famous red struts and lattices lies a varied and lively community, every bit as interconnected and interdependent as the girders of the bridge itself. Just like the six-and-a-half million rivets holding the Forth Bridge together, there are countless points of contact between the people who form the Forth Bridge community in its widest sense: engineers and environmentalists, managers, model makers, construction workers, campaigners, tour guides and train drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writer Barbara Henderson and photographer Alan McCredie lift the curtain on the people who work on the bridge, promote the bridge, protect the bridge, live by it, or play a significant part in its story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One sentiment unites them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one way or another, they all claim \u2018the Bridge\u2019 as their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
