Tay Bridge Disaster memorials to be unveiled

Two memorials are to be unveiled on either side of the River Tay to commemorate those whose lives were lost in the Tay Bridge Disaster of December 28th 1879, when a railway bridge gave way over the river, killing some 59 people.

The BBC has the story at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-25527719.
