Removed the claim that the Kessock Bridge was the first cable-stayed bridge in the UK. The Erskine Bridge outside Glasgow was opened in 1971 a year before construction of the Kessock Bridge was started. The Dryburgh Abbey Bridge is even older (1817) though it no longer exists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.104.229.109 (talk • contribs) links added — Johan the Ghost seance 18:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Inverness Firth not Moray Firth.

The Kessock Bridge actually crosses the Inverness Firth - not the Moray Firth. Someone keeps changing it back. See :-
