Me and my new bridge at Cocksburn Reservoir.
A few years ago SPEN (Scottish Power Energy Networks, the pylon people) destroyed the local hill path as mitigation work, and at Cocksburn Reservoir built a new path and a bridge that wasn’t really needed.
The bridge lasted just a few months before it washed away into the reservoir. SPEN then lied to me and said it wasn’t their responsibility, but it was so I named and shamed in a national paper and they finally agreed to replace it.
This is the replacement bridge – the multi-use path around the reservoir is fully connected again and hopefully this new bridge will last years rather than months.
(There’s a Stanton Sherpa in the grass at the back of the bridge)
