Christmas day, glorious sunshine, half hour to spare on the way to pick up the folks. Just needed a boat to appear....
The Forth Bridge is one of Scotland’s major landmarks and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This magnificent railway bridge was built between 1883 and 1890.
Sorry its another bridge shot today, but hope you'll agree its an unusual perspective. I was lucky enough to get a space on the Barnado's Scotland #YourView17 trip up the Forth Rail Bridge today. Stunning views for a good cause!
The new Queensferry Crossing across the River Forth opens in a couple of weeks and Im trying to get a location where I can get all three bridges together. I've made a few trips now and not managed to get the shot I am wanting, but at least I managed to take this picture this morning so I cannot complain.
This morning, on our way to explore the Kingdom of Fife, including St Andrews, we stopped by in South Queensferry to view the Forth Bridge. This is one of the shots that I took while we were there.

The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles west of Edinburgh City Centre. It is considered as a symbol of Scotland, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was designed by the English engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker. It is sometimes referred to as the Forth Rail Bridge, although this has never been its official name. Construction of the bridge began in 1882 and it was opened on 4 March 1890 by the Duke of Rothesay,

Boats and ladders and the world's smallest working Light Tower sit alongside one of the world's engineering wonders, the Forth Bridge at North Queensferry.
Opened in 1890 by the Prince of Wales the Forth Bridge is made from 55,000 tonnes of steel, 65 million rivets and requires 7,000 gallons of paint to cover it. At least 73 people were known to have died during its construction.
When completed the bridge was the longest single cantilever bridge in the world and became a UNESCO world heritage site in 2015.
The villages of North and South Queensferry are named after Queen Margaret (1045-1093).
It is believed that Queen Margaret first established a free ferry link between North and South Queensferry (which became known as the Queensferry Passage) to allow pilgrims to make their way over the Firth of Forth on their pilgrimage journey to St Andrews cathedral.
It was Robert Stevenson who built North Queensferry's Harbour Light Tower in 1817, it is now operated by North Queensferry Heritage Trust.
We walked to the top of the Forth Road Bridge and took this picture of the iconic rail bridge. It’s a beautiful bridge and has been a landmark since 1874.

Forth Road Bridge over the River Forth linking the Kingdom of Fife with the Lothians. Opened in 1964 and now only used for pedestrians buses and taxi since the recent opening of the Queensferry Crossing. Long exposure taken from North Queensferry. The white line in the sky to the left of the bridge was the departing 8.55pm flight to London from nearby Edinburgh airport
