Its inaugural writer-in-residence, award-winning author Barbara Henderson, takes us behind the scenes at the much-loved structure with surprising stories of enthusiasts, professionals, residents, researchers, souvenir sellers, lifesavers, train drivers, writers, lovebirds and volunteers.
Don’t miss the chance to hear of narrow escapes, crazy capers, secrets and storms as featured in Our Forth Bridge: Made from Girders.
