'A tale of irresponsibility and inexperience' THE TIMES
'Graphically written with a sense of dramatic construction'
SCOTSMAN On December 28th 1879, the night of the Great Storm, the
Tay Bridge collapsed, along with the train that was crossing, and
everyone on board... This is the true story of that disastrous
night, told from multiple viewpoints: The station master waiting
for the train to arrive - who sees the approaching lights simply
vanish. The bored young boys watching from their bedroom window who
witness the disaster. The dreamer who designed the bridge which
eventually destroyed him. The old highlanders who professed the
bridge doomed from the outset. The young woman on the ill-fated
train, carrying a love letter from the man she hoped to marry...
THE HIGH GIRDERS is a vivid, dramatic reconstruction of the
ill-omened man-made catastrophe of the Tay Bridge disaster - and
its grim aftermath.
