A visual celebration of Thomas Telford's architectural and engineering legacy. A Scottish towering figure of the Industrial Revolution in Britain and the pre-eminent engineer of his day.

Born into poverty in the Scottish Border country in 1757, Thomas Telford rose to become a towering figure of the Industrial Revolution in Britain and the pre-eminent engineer of his day.

Incorporating material from the author’s earlier book Thomas Telford’s Scotland, this new edition is a visual celebration of Telford’s architectural and engineering legacy, from the mighty Menai Bridge to the harbours, manses and chapels of the remote Scottish Highlands.

Chris Morris has worked in journalism, corporate and design roles for four decades and has recently turned his hand to writing.
