Simon Reed is quite right, the Tay bridge was built by the North British Railway of Edinburgh, and the Forth Bridge was built by the Forth Bridge Company. The shares of which were split 30% NBR, 32.5% Midland, 18.75% each for the GNR and NER. The Midland, GNR and NER being the NBR's conection into England. The inland route via Falkirk, Camelon, Perth was owned by the Caledonian Railway of Glasgow, and to say the North British and Caley disliked each other is an understatement. Before the Great War rather than acept the competition had a beter route, the Caley ran services from Princess Street station in Edinburgh via Perth to Aberdeen. While the NBR ran an Aberdeen - Glasgow services with the through Aberdeen Glasgow coaches coming of the main Aberdeen Edinburgh express at Dalmeny Jnt just south of Inverkeithing.
