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!
I see! Well we're going back to Scotland. Not to shit on the English, but Scottish people were much more fun, less stuffy, and more welcoming. I'll definitely make it a point to see the bridges. Plus I need an excuse to wear my new kilt.
I think like anything it depends where you go. I’ve been great places up here and rubbish places and the same for down south of the border. Worth checking out the bridges for sure! And Roman and Celtic sites, a bunch of them!!
