Extract

The surface of the Queensferry Road, from about the bend above Blackhall, past Marchfield, and on towards Cramond Bridge, was remade in the spring 1919.

It was made in the modern fashion for a motoring road, with road metal and liberal supplies of bitumen, and small pieces of quartz scattered on top of the bitumen, the whole being rolled by steam roller.
