Subject notes
It was necessary to bridge the burn which separated the site of the new refinery from the Caledonian Railway docks where the unloading jetty was located. The bridge also carried pipelines over the burn. (See other photographs of the bridge.)

Rope footbridge across the Grange, first step in construction of new works, connecting Scottish Oils properly with Caledonian Railway Co.
