Forth Bridge.
🇬🇧 The Forth bridge is one of three bridges over the Firth of Forth. The bridges connect the towns North Queensferry and South Queensferry. When it opened in 1890, the railway bridge had the largest span in the world and is made entirely of steel. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015.
Every day, around 200 trains use the 2.5 kilometre long Forth Bridge to cross the Forth. The two other bridges in this area are located inland an make it possible to cross the Firth o by car.

🇩🇪 Die Forth Bridge verbindet als eine der drei Brücken über die Flussmündung des Forth die Orte North und South Queensferry. Die Eisenbahnbrücke hatte bei ihrer Eröffnung 1890 die weltweite größte Spannweite und ist vollständig aus Stahl hergestellt. Seit 2015 zählt sie zum UNSECO-Weltkulturerbe.
Täglich nutzen ca. 200 Züge die gut 2,5km lange Forth Bridge, um eben den Forth zu überqueren. Die beiden anderen Brücken in ihrer Umgebung (die Forth Road Bridge und Queensferry Crossing) befinden sich landeinwärts und ermöglichen mit dem Auto den Firth of Forth zu überqueren.

A lovely view from Alva Glen, once the short climb out of the gorge is complete. Although it was a hazy day you can see all the way to the winding #forth in the distance beyond the plains and Alloa.

A super little walk, easy parking, sculpture trail and informative boards about the heritage of the area.... more details here
