| Topic & Speaker: | "My year as the Forth Bridge writer in residence" by Barbara Henderson, Forth Bridge writer in residence Barbara Henderson is an Inverness-based author, storyteller and drama teacher who served in the one-year term of a new role, Writer in Residence at the Forth Bridge. Based on real events, her "Rivet Boy" tells of 12-year-old John Nicol's role in the building of the Bridge. In "Made from Girders" she and photographer Alan McCredie lift the lid on the people who work on the Bridge, promote it, protect it, live by it or play a significant part in its story. One of only four railway locations in the world to have qualified for UNESCO World Heritage Status, the Bridge is the apogee of Victorian engineering, and Barbara will tell us about her year of celebrating it in words. |

| Topic & Speaker: | Edinburgh's CCWEL cycleway by Rurigdh McMeddes, Edinburgh City Council. CCWEL is the City Centre West East Link, a segregated cycleway across the centre of Edinburgh whose first stretch from Roseburn to Haymarket is now complete. As well as promoting safe cycling, the project benefits other road-users by renewing street furniture, rationalising provision for parking and loading, and generally improving the local environment. Rurigdh will tell us about the challenges that the project has faced, including how best to engage with the community so that they would codesign these improvements. |
