M898 Erskine Bridge

This late 1960's map shows the Erskine Bridge as part of the M898. Of course, today, the M898 ends at the junction to the south of the bridge. Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Feb 18, 2006 by DavidBrown

This black box has appeared on a lamp-post on the A82. There is no connection to it i.e. no power, no sensor in road surface.

Great Western Road (C) Thomas Nugent
The A82 is the main road leading west north of the Clyde. It starts slightly east of here and runs all the way to Inverness, a distance of 167 miles.

Inverness car park VMS

The new LED car park information signs are now operating in Inverness, but this one isn't much use as the older sign in front of it hasn't been removed.

New car park ADS on approaches to Inverness city centre which will display parking spaces. The LED displays were installed just before I took this photo.

Direction signs in Gaelic and English and drive on left sign in four languages on the A82 at Urquhart Castle.

Viewed from St George's Cross.

Tall mountains either side of the A82 overwhelm the presence of the road and make the lorry seem tiny

Charming photo of new road blasted through Glencoe in the early 1930s. Note the work camp in the valley bottom.

Another reason as to why the longman roundabout was not grade separated due to the obvious reason that, at the time, it didn't lead anywhere incredibly important compared to today where the road crosses Friars Bridge and bypasses the city centre. This photo also shows the pre dualled A96 heading towards the non existent retail park!

Work in progress at Ballachulish Arch

Barloan Toll Roundabout The picture was taken from a path that leads up into Bellsmyre. As the name suggests, Barloan Toll was located on the boundary of the burgh.

When trams were running in Dumbarton (from 1907 to 1928), there was a branch line to Barloan Toll (now the site of the roundabout). The branch line left the main line at Church Place (beside 3309889) and followed 620117, Strathleven Place, and 1479101 [see "Dumbarton's Trams and Buses", A.W.Brotchie and R.L.Grieves, 1985].

Compare 3357857.

The Glasgow section of the M8 from 1971. Note the Kingston bridge southern terminus, the construction of the Charing Cross section and the A82 extension and the unusual looking J15 which is where M8 became the A8 again on the way to Edinburgh.

New sign for Inverness west link

Queens roundabout built as part of the Inverness West link. This has been built for access to the new swing bridge thats not been built yet so currently its not very useful. 2 new underpasses have been built for when that does happen though.
