NORTH BRITISH RAILWAYNORTH BRITISH RAILWAYalmsst unprecedented violence <strong>of</strong> tlie gale, and SirThomas Bouch strongly held the opinion that underthis force some part <strong>of</strong> the train had left the rails, whichhe considered would amply account for the disaster.He had for some time not been well, and under theshock and distress <strong>of</strong> mind caused by the casualty hishealth more rapidly gave way, and he died at M<strong>of</strong>faton the 30th <strong>of</strong> October 1880. In his death the pr<strong>of</strong>essionhas to lament one who, though perhaps carryinghis works nearer to the margin <strong>of</strong> safety thanmany others would have done, displayed boldness,originality, and resource in a high degree, and bore adistinguished part in the later development <strong>of</strong> therailway system.'One unfortunate effect <strong>of</strong> the disaster was to paralysethe operations that had been favourably going on towardsthe larger project <strong>of</strong> crossing the estuary <strong>of</strong> theForth. The public had, for the moment, lost faith inlarge iron bridges ; the Board <strong>of</strong> Trade made largerdemands <strong>of</strong> security, and the Forth Bridge Company,rather than persevere in so bold a scheme in the face <strong>of</strong>a temporarily unfavourable phase <strong>of</strong> public opinion,resolved to abandon the undertaking, or at least towait till a more convenient season for its further prosecution.'Within two years <strong>of</strong> the fall <strong>of</strong> the Tay Bridge theNorth British Railway Company obtained an actauthorising the construction <strong>of</strong> a new viaduct, differingin many points <strong>of</strong> detail from the original structure.Starting from nearly the same points N and S, thenew bridge stands about 50 yards W <strong>of</strong> the old. In thenumber and arrangement <strong>of</strong> spans it is identical, and inthe method <strong>of</strong> sinking the foundations and bringing upthe structure above high-water mark the process is thesame. It differs (1st) in being a double instead <strong>of</strong> asingle line, by which the lateral stability and carryingcapacity are increased ;(2d) in the upper structure beingin solid plates <strong>of</strong> malleable iron, instead <strong>of</strong> groups <strong>of</strong> castiron columns ; and (3d) in being less in elevation abovehigh water o.s.t. The reduction in the height causedan obligation to be imposed on the company to tow allvessels proceeding to Perth or elsewhere above bridge.The engineer <strong>of</strong> this bridge is Mr Barlow, and itsestimated cost £800,000.Although under the Act <strong>of</strong> 1878 the Forth Bridgewas formally begun as already stated, no steps weretaken to carry on the work, and the destruction <strong>of</strong> theTay Bridge caused the scheme as designed by SirThomas Bouch to be abandoned, and a new design tobe prepared. This was done by Mr Fowler, who madeseveral very important alterations, although, as before,the two spans <strong>of</strong> 1600 feet crossing the fairways <strong>of</strong> theriver, remain necessary features <strong>of</strong> the design. As inthe case <strong>of</strong> the Tay Bridge, the structure provides adouble line, and in the wider spans these are built independentlyand separated by a distance <strong>of</strong> 100 feet, withlateral bracings connecting them, so that additionalstability is thus secured. The bridge is approached bya long viaduct <strong>of</strong> 30 spans on the lattice girder principle,and in the two main spans the suspension principle hasbeen abandoned, those spans being instead constructedin a semi-circular form below on the cantilever principle.In this case also a reduction in height was authorised bythe Act, and from the careful tests taken, and thedetermination <strong>of</strong> the board to make a structure immovableby any hurricane within experience, the bridgepossesses high elements <strong>of</strong> stability. Athough thisstructure has been noticed under the North BritishRailway, it does not belong to that company, beingindependently promoted under a guarantee for trafficand dividend to which the Great Northern, Midland,North-Eastern, and North British Railways are parties.The North British is charged with the duty <strong>of</strong> workingthe bridge and its connecting lines at 50 per cent, <strong>of</strong> thegross traffic, while the various companies, besides aguarantee for the dividend, are bound to direct a statedamount <strong>of</strong> traffic to the bridge.Another work <strong>of</strong> engineering importance is the bridgeover the Esk at Montrose. This bridge as designed by122Bouch failed, owing to the bad foundation furnished bythe' back-sands,' and considerable expense was incurredin erecting a new lattice girder bridge, which was.opened in 1882. A fine iron bridge, designed by Bouch,crosses the Dryden burn on the Edinbui-gh and Eosslynline, and the bridge crossing the Tweed below Melrose,carrying the railway to Earlston, is an imposing stonestructure,and as it carries a single line only it appearsvery slender owing to its great height, and havingshown some indications <strong>of</strong> yielding at one end, thepiers have been strongly re-inforced there.The character <strong>of</strong> the traffic borne by the North Britishrailway is much diversified. As a passenger line it ranksfirst in <strong>Scotland</strong>, a larger proportion <strong>of</strong> its revenue beingderived from this source than is the case with its greatrival line the Caledonian. It is the sole means <strong>of</strong> railwaycommunication over a very large district, and in thedenser parts <strong>of</strong> the country it maintains a lively competitionwith the other lines. In mineral ti-afl5c it hasconnection with docks or harbours at Leith (by twolines), Bo'ness, Burntisland, Charleston, Glasgow (bythe Stobcross docks), Silloth, etc. It has considerablefish traffic from Dunbar, Eyemouth (to which a railwayis about to be made), Granton, Anstruther, etc. Itstourist district embraces the Scott country, and suchinteresting historical places as Lochleven, Dunfermline,Falkland, St Andrews, and Linlithgow. Its importanceas a part <strong>of</strong> the shortest and swiftest route fromEdinburgh to London, and as the best line from Edinburghto Glasgow, has already been adverted to, andover both those lines it conducts an important part <strong>of</strong>the postal service. The history <strong>of</strong> the North British'has been one <strong>of</strong> many vicissitudes. In Mr RichardHodgson it possessed a man <strong>of</strong> great energy and foresight,and his endeavours to realise a gigantic and wellcompactedsystem plunged the company into seriousfinancial difficulties, which formed the subject <strong>of</strong> aspecial investigation in 1867. It is one <strong>of</strong> the features<strong>of</strong> the later history <strong>of</strong> the company, that most <strong>of</strong> MrHodgson's ideas have since been carried out. By greatboldness he secured the access to Carlisle from Hawick,which, had it fallen into the hands <strong>of</strong> the Caledonian,would have made the now picturesque and favourite'Waverley Route ' a cul de sac. On Mr Hodgson'sdownfall the company secured a man <strong>of</strong> no less abilityand courage in Mr Stirling <strong>of</strong> Eippendavie, who, forfifteen years, ruled the destinies <strong>of</strong> the railway. It wasunder his direction that the company pushed into thegreat Lanarkshire coalfield by the ' Coatbridge undertaking,'which made the Edinburgh and Bathgaterailwaya through line, and by special lines runningto Hamilton, etc. The Glasgow connection wasstrengthened by the construction <strong>of</strong> the Stobcrossdocks and connecting lines, while northward the construction<strong>of</strong> the Forth and Tay Bridges, the acquirement<strong>of</strong> one-half <strong>of</strong> the Dundee and Arbroath, the newrailway to Montrose, and the purchase <strong>of</strong> the Bervieline indicate a policy pointing to a direct route toAberdeen and the north, entirely independent <strong>of</strong> those'running powers ' from Larbert to Perth, and fromArbroath to Aberdeen, already held as the fruits <strong>of</strong>keen parliamentary strife. At the beginning <strong>of</strong> 1879-the company seemed to be approaching an end <strong>of</strong> itsdifficulties, but the fall <strong>of</strong> tlie Tay Bridge, and theconsequent loss <strong>of</strong> traffic and money, caused the fortunes<strong>of</strong> the company again to droop. A revival speedilyfollowed, however, and in the spring <strong>of</strong> 1883 the'ordinary' stock obtained a dividend <strong>of</strong> 5 per cent., arate which had not been paid since 1848, and which wasin1884 increased to 5h per cent. During thirteen <strong>of</strong>the intervening years no dividend was paid on thatstock, although as a rule all the 'preference ' dividendshave been fully paid. In 1848, it may be stated, theentire capital receiving dividend was £1,080,000, whilein 1884 the capital was over thirty-two millions, the'ordinary ' capital above referred to as then receiving5J per cent, being over four millions and a half Apart <strong>of</strong> the recent policy <strong>of</strong> the company has been tO'encourage the formation <strong>of</strong> local line.s and after their

In shape resembling an isosceles triangle withnorth-north-eastward apex, it is connected at its southerncorner with the rest <strong>of</strong> Mainland by an isthmus only100 yards wide ;and even this is nearly all submergedby spring tides. Its utmost length, from N by E to Sby W, is 17 miles ; its utmost breadth is 11 miles ; andits land area is 761- square miles, or 49,037 acres. Theprincipal islets are Nibon, Uyea, and Lamba ; andmost <strong>of</strong> them afl'ord good pasture, but all are uninhabited.The Mainland district, except at the isthmusconnecting it with Delting parish, is completely surroundedby the sea. Deeply indented by Ura Firth,Ronas Voe, Burra Voe, Colla Firth, Gluss Voe, andother bays or voes, it has nearly everywhere a bold androck-bound coast, so engirdled by skerries, toweringislets, and fantastically-outlined rocks as at all times,but especially in a storm, to present grandly picturesqueand romantic scenery. Portions <strong>of</strong> the W coast, inparticular, consist <strong>of</strong> stupendous crags, rising rapidly toa height <strong>of</strong> 300 and 500 feet above sea-level, and seemingto have been rather rent by storm and billow thantorn by volcano or upheaved by earthquake. Islets orother objects <strong>of</strong> still more remarkable appearance bearthe names <strong>of</strong> Drongs, Scraada, Doreholm, Ossa-Skerry,and Maiden-Skerry. Fethaland Point in the extremeN, and Esha Ness in the extreme SW, are the principalheadlands ; and the former terminates a small peninsula,enclosed by a stone fence. Numerous fresh-waterlakes <strong>of</strong> no great size are scattered over the moors, whosegeneral surface is hilly, broken, and rough, attaining389 feet at the Skiurds, 567 near White Grunafirth,and 1475 at precipitous RoNAS Hill— the highest summitin Shetland. The rocks, from Ronas Voe to UraFirth, are chiefly Old Red sandstone and limestone, <strong>of</strong>coarse description ; elsewhere they include granite,syenite, gneiss, syenitic greenstone, diallage, and porphyry.Chromate <strong>of</strong> iron occurs in places, but not <strong>of</strong>the best quality ; and agates and garnets are found.The soil in some spots along the coast is light andsandy, in others is loamy or clayey ; and over most <strong>of</strong>the interior is moss immediately incumbent on solidrock. Almost everywhere it is very thin. The arablelands are chiefly scattered pendicles around the bays orelsewhere near the shore, and probably not more thanone-tenth <strong>of</strong> the entire area is under cultivation. Thecr<strong>of</strong>ters, indeed, pay more attention to fishing than toagriculture. The chief antiquities are a chain <strong>of</strong> rudewatch-towers, remains <strong>of</strong> Picts' houses, and ruins <strong>of</strong> twopre-Reformation churches at OUaberry and North Roe.Four proprietors hold each an annual value <strong>of</strong> more, and2 <strong>of</strong> less, than £100. Northmaven is in the presbytery<strong>of</strong> Olnafirth and the synod <strong>of</strong> Shetland ; the living isworth £233. The parish church, at Hillswick, wasbuilt in 1733, and, as reseated in 1825, contains 600sittings. Other places <strong>of</strong> worship are an EstablishedNOVAEchapel <strong>of</strong> ease and a U.P. church at OUaberry, a Congregationalchapel at Snllam (1828 ; 160 sittings), and aWesleyan chapel at North Roe (1828 ; 208 sittings).Five public schools—North Roe, OUaberry, SuUam,Tangwick, and Urafirth, with respective accommodationfor 80, 72, 45, 60, and 60 children, had (1883) anaverage attendance <strong>of</strong> 48, 42, 19, 41, and 37, and grants<strong>of</strong> £51, 16s., £48, 9s., £28, 8s., £34, 16s., and £47,12s. 6d.

Triangular in shape, ithas an utmost length and breadth <strong>of</strong> Ig mile, and isreckoned one <strong>of</strong> the most fertile and pleasant islands inShetland. A promontory on its E side is called NossHead. But the most interesting object connected withit, and one <strong>of</strong> the greatest curiosities in Shetland, is aholm or islet on its SE side, called the Holm <strong>of</strong> Noss.This islet, only 500 feet long, 170 broad, and 160 high,is perfectly mural, rising sheer up to its greatest altitudeon all sides from the sea, and possessing a level andrichly-swarded surface. The opposite rock on Nossisland is also mural, and <strong>of</strong> the same height as theHolm ;and is separated from it by a channel 240 feetwide. In former years a wooden trough or cradlesuspended to ropes and made to acquire a slidingmotion, with sufficient capacity to convey a man andone sheep at a time, served to keep the Holm in commandas a valuable piece <strong>of</strong> sheep pasture. Off the Ecoast a rock called the Noup <strong>of</strong> Noss towers up like astupendous tower, and attains, on one side, a precipitousand almost perpendicular height above sea-level <strong>of</strong> 592feet.
