The Skye Bridge Story: Multi-national Interests and People Power - Hardcover

The story of the Skye Bridge tolls ran for more than ten years. It is a story that goes right to the heart of govenment policy - the Skye Bridge was the first Public Finance Initiative in the UK, where a public project is built by private capital and the builder charges for the facility for years to come. The Skye and Lochalsh community felt a strong sense of injustice about what was being imposed on them from afar and The Skye Bridge Story is an entertaining and gripping account of events. Richly illustated and presented as a bilingual Gaelic/ English text, this book is a life-affirming account of what is possible when people exercise their sense of justice.

Andy Anderson was a Skye Bridge campaigner who was charged and held in prison for his refusal to pay the bridge tolls. He has been assisted by numerous local people in the compilation of this book.
