The Forth Road Bridge is turning 60 on Wednesday, September 4th, and the Dalgety Heritage Trail is excited to celebrate this milestone! To commemorate the occasion, we’ve teamed up with George Hastie to bring you our first ever printed publication, ‘A Farm Divided’.
While many articles and pictures this week will focus on the technical marvels of the bridge—like the tonnes of steel and countless rivets used—our A5 booklet offers a unique perspective. Have you ever wondered what was cleared away to make room for the approach roads? George’s story captures this transformation with never-before-seen photos from his family farm.
You can get your copy for just £4, and we’re happy to deliver it by hand to addresses in Dalgety Bay, Inverkeithing, Hillend, and Fordell Gardens.
You can pay by cash on delivery or by Paypal or BACS, just message the Facebook page or email brian.johnston@dalgetycommunitytrust.co.uk to make arrangements for payment and delivery.
