Callander (Dreadnought)
Name on a bridge: at the east end of the site of Callander station on 20 February 2008. J Cameron Arrol and T Arthur Arrol founded Arrol Brothers in 1882. Their bridges appeared far and wide, with the Cape to Cairo Railway a route that still provides many examples of their work. Another interesting sideline was the construction of giant Ferris wheels - contracts included the building of the Big Wheel for the Earls Court Exhibition and the first Ferris wheel to be erected in Blackpool. However, one of their most famous structures still stands to this day and, at one time, provided the venue for a memorable meeting between a Mr Martins and a Mr Lime high above the Prater Park in Vienna. I swear I can hear a zither playing...
