17. Balcombe Viaduct

Nice one Sparky,
I'm sure you know it well - as well as many of the sheep who graze in the vicinity. ;D ;D ;D

14 is the clifton suspension bridge.

[Lord Cheeky]

16) Bennerley Viaduct
18) Royal Border Bridge
19) Windsor Branch Viaduct
20) Glennfinnian Viaduct
21) Medway Viaduct

16) 19) 20) and 21) all spot on, Lord Cheeky - that's Eton College in the background of 19) by the way.

The answer you have given to 18) is the precise definition of one of the others, so I'll award half-a-point. And to gain the full point for the one in question, whoever nominates it correctly will have to name the two towns which it links to each other.

Scooner's answer to 14) is correct also.

22 Royal Border Bridge I thought Berwick on Tweed was on both sides of the river but does it link Tweedmouth with Berwick?

One point for that excellent answer.

No movement on this one for 3 weeks, so Quiz will close at 10pm tomorrow night.

Left to get are 13) 15) 18) 23) & 24). Google away if you wish !

[Chris_Sav]

23) Barmouth Bridge
18) Calstock Viaduct
15) Aquaduct and Metro Bridge at Castlefield, next to the new fangled Merchants bridge
24) Brig O'Doon (misty eyed??? is that cos our hero rode Maggie on the bridge??) ;D

Well, that little lot is worth 6 points, Sav.
1pt each for 23) and 18) - two really spectacular sights.
2pts for the detailed answer for the Mancunian one (Castlefield).
And 2pts for Brigadoon and the amusing veiled reference which demonstrates knowledge of the legend of Tam O'Shanter:

Yes, tommo and margo have stood on the Brig O'Doon and found it a spiritual - neigh uplifting - experience. ;D I would very much recommend the nearby Tam O' Shanter exhibition to anyone going that way- the legend is brought to life in a cinema hall.

Ten minutes left to get the last one (13).

For a quick bonus, extending quiz for, say, half an hour:

What is the difference between these two items of Scottish millinery ?

Okay, I think we've wrung the last bit out of this one.

The missing answer was 13) Holborn Viaduct.
The difference in hats is that the one on the left is an authentic Tam o'Shanter from the shape. Whereas the one on the right is of lesser quality (and price) and is billed (with the red hair attached) as a "C U Jimmy hat". ;D
