Is a bridge to Forfar a bridge too far?
A prominent architect claims a road bridge linking Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man would improve the countries' futures.
Professor Alan Dunlop estimates the massive engineering project would cost around £15 billion.
It comes after UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was ridiculed for his suggestion of a bridge across the English Channel to the French president a week ago.
Mr Dunlop says he was inspired by fjord-spanning 'floating' bridges in Scandinavia.
He told Manx Radio not only is the project feasible - but it could have real economic benefit:
Creamery managing director to leave role
Fast-tracked legislation was designed to close 'loophole of expanding problem'
Farmers 'feeling the squeeze' more than ever says MNFU
Too soon to say if Finnish TT rider will have permanent vision problems
MLC given leave to introduce bill to tackle gazumping and gazundering
