Yes Tony, Edinburgh's Telford College was named after the great man himself, fair to assume Telford Rd has a similar connection. Our original Crewe Rd South campus, we had an original link from Menia Bridge hanging on wall outside our Engineering Dept. Prior to our 2006 relocation to Waterside development, link was skipped, which we rescued, brought and stored at our new campus. Fast forward a year or three, Prince Charles was giving a heritage speech within our new campus hub, lots of dignitaries attending. I was summoned and tasked to remove link from storage and to design and fit link to wall at college hub entrance, which I carried out. A plaque was also fitted detailing what this lump of cast steel was.
I was at Granton for world skills construction finals, I can't recall seeing the link, I need to ask. Also Tony, the bridge you will have crossed on many occasions while entering or leaving Pathhead on the A68, is another of Telfords design and build.

Incidentally, what was previously known as Stevenson College, Edinburgh (now Edinburgh College Sighthill campus, original name was for the Scottish born Stevenson family brothers, a family where authors were born into (Kidnapped by RL Stevenson) and of course, their engineering feats of building Scotlands Lighthouses, Bell Rock, Skerryvore, Dubh Artach, Muckle Flugga, as some examples.
