Old kincardine on forth video

Old video from the 1980's showing how the old Kincardine bridge used to operate, followed by a documentary showing how the large pylons over the forth river were built, and finally the old kincardine power station chimneys being demolished.

It makes you think of awaiting your ferry at port while stopping at the traffic lights.

What a shame in the present energy problems, maybe it should have been kept.
