The massive strength of the Forth Bridge is obvious in this view from its northern end. It was built between 1883 and 1890 and was the first of three bridges to cross this part of the River Forth, one built in each of three centuries.

A triumph of over-engineering, the Forth Bridge, often called the Forth Rail Bridge since the arrival of the Forth Road Bridge: now one of three great bridges across this part of the Firth of Forth, each built in a different century.

134 years ago today. The Forth Bridge, now often known as the Forth Rail Bridge, was officially opened by Edward, Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII, on 4 March 1890. At the time it was seen as the eighth wonder of the world. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/queensferry/forthrailbridge/index.html

The Forth Bridge, also known as the Forth Rail Bridge, seen from the harbour at Queensferry or South Queensferry. This was the first of three major bridges built across this part of the Firth of Forth in three different centuries.

Rode 'round the forth' yesterday which I've never done before (full Stirling route). Bit too hot, then torrential rain. Probably the wrong bike for the job, then again....plenty of rough, muddy sections! #stirling #cycling #forthrailbridge

I've loved crossing the Forth Rail Bridge ever since I was a kid, still enjoy it as an adult. Such a wonderful combination of superb, Victorian engineering with the qualities of national landmark.

Spent the weekend walking 25+km both along the Eastern and Western coasts around Edinburgh.

The Leven bird hides were a great surprise, and we shall be returning for sure throughout winter to catch the waders.
Only have ridden through the Dalmeny Estate previously, and I can say the walking of the trails is also an enjoyable time on a sunny winter’s day.

Photo tax. It’s a view I don’t think I shall ever get tired of seeing.
