A stellar exhibition of the solar system was unveiled  on the Tay Road Bridge as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations.

The project is a collaboration with the Cubs, which is also marking a big milestone – its 100th birthday.

The mastermind behind the idea was nine-year-old Stuart, a Cub from the 34th Fife, 1st Newport Cub pack.

He has worked alongside bridge manger Alan Hutchison to bring the project to life and unveiled the posters along with members of the Cubs and representatives from the Tay Bridge.

The display features posters of the Sun and the nine planets, displayed along the walkway for passers-by to observe.

Mr Hutchison said: “Stuart has produced an amazing project.

“I am delighted we have been able to incorporate his project into the celebrations of the bridge.

“The bridge has had such a great impact for the older generation, it is great to see the younger generation come together to appreciate it and help mark the anniversary.”

The bridge is 50 years old on August 18, and as part of the celebrations there will be a free family day of events and activities on Sunday, August 21.

As part of the Cubs’ centenary, there will be various events held all over the UK including adventure weekends and “takeover days” of zoos, theme parks and castles.

There is also a special centenary badge for Cubs to wear.
