As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the opening of the Forth Road Bridge I was very privileged to be asked to write the introductory essay to the wonderful Kate Downie’s catalogue. Kate was artist-in-residence on the 50th anniversary project and produced a beautiful series of works on the bridge. You can read more about the project here: Rough, W. W. & Downie, K., 1 Aug 2014, Kate Downie. Zero to Fifty: The Road Bridge Diaries.
There is also a video of Kate discussing the project and the exhibition at Hopetoun House in 2014:
