Tidnish Bridge, Nova Scotia |
|
Excellent example of the use of the Keystone. The stones were all cut in
Scotland, marked, |
 "the stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner"
This bridge is located north
of Amherst, Hwy 366, near Baie Verte.
The plan was to build a railway from Baie Verte to Chignecto Bay ( at Amherst ) to lift ships from Baie Verte to Chignecto, thereby saving the trip all the way around the south end of N.S. - After building the bridge and part of the railway - he ran out of money and investors. The approach off the highway is not easy to find - it's just a trail. You have to park on the Hwy and walk in. There's a swinging bridge on the trail similar to Capilano (but not as long) from Companion Lorne Hammett, Cyrus Chapter
