Did you visit the Forth Bridge while you were here? Another marvel of engineering!!
That's the large white suspension bridge? We did drive over it! But if not, no other bridges stand out to me. We turned around in Lenlithgow (sp?) after the Marches to head to Pitlochery.
We have three bridges next to each other from three different centuries! The Queensferry Crossing was the one you were on, built about 5 years ago. The one next to it is the old Road Bridge and the furthest away that is red diamonds is the rail bridge, it was built in the 1800’s and is one of a kind, unofficial wonder of the modern world.
Three designs too - 19th century cantilever, 20th suspension, 21st cable-stayed. Also, the Forth Bridge is a UNESCO world heritage site. We love our bridges!
