    1. [EDB] Forth Bridge Casualties
    2. Stuart Laing
    3. There was recent correspondence about casualties during the building. I have at last found my copy of The Forth Bridge - A Picture History (by Sheila Mackay, Moubray House Publishing, Rweedale Court, 14 High Street, Edinburgh; 1990; ISBN 0 948473 13 4; the same publishers also republished in 1989 William Westhofens book 'The Forth Bridge'). There are no names listed but 518 men were taken to hospital during construction; of these 57 died on site. The fate of the remainder is not known. Stuart.
