The Forth Bridges - one of our favourite photo stops

28 Aug

19th August 2026 - The three impressive bridges that cross the estuary of the River Forth (the Firth of Forth) were built in 1890 (The Forth Bridge), 1967 (Forth Road Bridge) and 2017 (Queensferry Crossing). Situated about 30 minutes from the centre of Edinburgh they are a regular stop on many of our tours as we travel across the Queensferry Crossing to and from the Highlands.

For most the iconic Forth Bridge (or the railway bridge) is the star of the show. On completion it was the longest bridge in the world and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's distinctive red cantilever design has always been a great symbol of Scottish engineering pride and it is still the second longest cantilever bridge in the world. Why not come and see it for yourself on a Heart of Scotland Tour?
