Not the first cable-stayed bridge in the UK

Removed the claim that the Kessock Bridge was the first cable-stayed bridge in the UK. The Erskine Bridge outside Glasgow was opened in 1971 a year before construction of the Kessock Bridge was started. The Dryburgh Abbey Bridge is even older (1817) though it no longer exists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.104.229.109 (talk • contribs) links added — Johan the Ghost _seance 18:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inverness Firth not Moray Firth.

The Kessock Bridge actually crosses the Inverness Firth - not the Moray Firth. Someone keeps changing it back. See :-

and Admiralty Charts 1077 - (approaches to the Cromarty and Inverness Firths) and 1078 - Inverness Firth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.225.66 (talk • contribs) 21:47, 30 January 2007

I was born and grew up in Inverness, and my family is from the area going back generations. My father's family is from North Kessock / Craigton, going back to (at least) the 1780's, when they were harbour pilots. And I've never heard of the "Inverness Firth"! To me, the bridge is on the boundary between the Moray Firth and Beauly Firth, and that's how I've seen it on every map.

I note that the first link you provide now says

The Firth of Inverness is rarely identified on modern maps, but forms a connection via the River Ness, Loch Ness and the other lochs of the Great Glen and stretches of the Caledonian Canal with the Firth of Lorne on the west coast of Scotland.

Sounds to me like the Inverness Firth is (was) basically the Great Glen. I think the way the article has it now:

The Kessock Bridge ... across the Beauly Firth, an inlet of the Moray Firth, ...

is right. johantheghost (talk) 14:58, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
