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. More pics and info undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/que

The Forth Bridge. The image shows the Forth Bridge seen from the south-west with evening sun illuminating its whole length. There are five stone supports at the near end, leading in from the right of the frame, and these are lit by the sun to a bright honey colour. The metal structure of the bridge is in the lower left of the frame and is bright reddish-orange. The sky is blue, and this is reflected in the water.

Scottish Skyline: From Spires to Bridges

A beautiful sunset pictured from our apartment in Edinburgh a few weeks ago. The weather was glorious that week! It hardly rained at all!

Did you know that the Forth Bridge, visible just left of centre, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was the world’s longest cantilever railway bridge when it opened in 1890? It’s still a marvel of Victorian engineering that stands proud on the Scottish skyline.

A tranquil sunset over Edinburgh, Scotland, with silhouetted city buildings and church spires in the foreground, lush green trees, and the iconic Forth Bridge visible in the distance beneath a dramatic sky of layered orange, yellow, and grey clouds.

@StockbridgeArch Forth Bridge, please! (It was the first high-level crossing of the Firth of Forth; the other two came much later and were given descriptive names. The original bridge, being unique, has always been "The Forth Bridge".)

Misty #ForthBridge in #SouthQueensferry.

I was very lucky with the light yesterday; got out of the city because it was dull and grey and cold, and then these happened.

Happy 135th birthday to our favourite bridge, the Forth Bridge, which fittingly featured on our 4th edition cover. #ForthBridge

Forth Rail Bridge
🇬🇧 As calm as the Forth was, it wouldn't have taken 3 seconds of exposure for calm water.

🇩🇪 So ruhig wie der Forth war, hätte es eigentlich keine 3 Sekunden Belichtung für ruhiges Wasser gebraucht.

@UndisScot I was there on the 5th of November, there was almost no wind, and a strange translucent sunlight.

This is just a little further into the town from the harbour.

A man sitting on a bench looking at the Forth Bridge. The water is very calm and there's an almost perfect reflection of the bridge. There's a mistiness to the sky. It's hard to see where the water ends and the sky begins.

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. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/que

#Scotland #ForthBridge

The Forth Bridge, also known as the Forth Rail Bridge, seen from the harbour at Queensferry or South Queensferry. The harbour occupies the bottom half of the frame and has walls on both sides sticking out into the Firth of Forth. The harbour is very still and reflective and home to lots of leisure boats on the left. The Forth Bridge extends across the middle of the frame. The sky is blue in early morning light.

Made From Girders.

A few months back and a trip to Inchcolm Island in the Firth of Forth took us under the bridge.

Eine neue Podcast-Folge ist online!

Über die Forth Bridge. Die ikonische, rote Eisenbahnbrücke über den Firth of Forth bei Edinburgh.
Sie ist eines der bekanntesten Postkartenmotive Schottlands und eine von drei Brücken über die Mündung des Flusses Forth. Spannend ist wie sie zustande kam und wie sie so gebaut wurde.
