Before Cherrybank.
TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE From Rob Fletcher’s recent article (A Bridge Too Far, April 2010), it seems that yet another vulnerable, wire-stayed bridge is to be built to meet the Forth crossing requirements. We would surely be

enough roadways and railway lines to cope with all predicted future usage, but would also produce carbon-free electricity on a potentially massive scale through a series of submerged tidal turbines along its width. The tides are a failsafe source of energy, and reversible turbine blades could utilise both incoming and outgoing tides. The provision of a central bridged gap would allow the passage of ships upriver to Grangemouth. Larger ships would be constrained, as at present, by the tides.

IN CHOCOLATE HEAVEN I would like to commend to fellow Scottish Field readers a wonderful oasis of chocolate in Edinburgh. The Chocolate Tree in Bruntsfi eld Place has only been in existence for a matter of months, and as a local resident my fi rst reaction was ‘oh no, not another coffee shop!’.

The prices are very reasonable and, most importantly, everything smells and tastes divine. What more could anyone want? (And no, I’m not a relative of the owners!) Julia Shaw, Viewforth, Edinburgh
