Forth Bridge

The story behind the place

Opened in 1890, the Forth Bridge carries trains between the shores of the Firth of Forth. Three great steel cantilever structures support the crossing, joined by lower connecting spans. Look through the triangular red lattice to the separate granite piers below. Its neighbour, the Forth Road Bridge, has a different suspension design.
