3 August 2010 - North Queensferry

On route to our hotel near St. Andrews. We had to stop to look at the Forth Rail Bridge. Unfortunately the weather was a bit grey so not good for photography.

The amazing Forth Rail Bridge. The bridge was built between 1883 and 1890. This shot was taken from the town pier. The Old Harbour Light Tower was designed by Robert Stevenson.
