I remember Roland so well. Without his dedication, determination and drive we would not have seen the restoration of the original bridge over the Tweed and many other valuable undertakings which he lead; the preservation of which greatly enhanced Scotland´s international reputation. It is a loss to Scotland that he is no longer with us.
