Description

This comprehensive guide to Scotland's civil engineering heritage explores the visionary projects that shaped the country's infrastructure and contributed to its wealth creation. From the Forth & Clyde Canal and bridges in the Lowlands and Borders, to the Tay bridges in Dundee, this book records Scotland's achievements as a civilisation through enduring memorials built by great engineers.

With significant input from various groups, including the PHEW Scottish Group Members past and present, the ICE Library, and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS), this book provides a valuable reference and recreational guide to the invaluable contribution of civil engineering to Scotland's transport, water, and power infrastructure.

Featuring supporting images where possible, this book is an inventory of historical engineering works carried out in Scotland over the centuries, including notable projects by engineers such as John Smeaton. The entries are arranged geographically, with coverage starting at the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse and concluding at the Tay bridges in Dundee.
