It would appear that Alex Salmond MSP has persuaded some middle eastern bankers to give him the money to build the new Forth Bridge, at an estimated cost of £4 billion. Watch this space.
"FIRST MINISTER Alex Salmond confirmed yesterday that the Scottish Government is to press ahead with plans for a new Forth bridge, despite the present financial crisis. At more than £4 billion the replacement road bridge is by far Scotland’s biggest single capital project. Finance secretary John Swinney is due to make an announcement to Holyrood on funding for it before the end of the year. Yesterday at question time Scottish Tory leader Annabel Goldie sought assurances that the giant project would go ahead as planned."
