The Foss Bridge is one of Edinburgh's main roads to the Highlands. After crossing the bridge, the scenery is the continuous hills (I really feel that the mountains are not high, so I call them hills) and canyons. When I come back from the Highlands, I park here with a landscape platform that is very suitable for taking pictures. There seems to be a toilet next to it. I didn't use it. No special impression, there should be an open-air cafe later, the view is great

The Forth Bridge is a very animal-friendly bridge structure, the bridge has a long history and is an important transportation hub, passing on the bridge can see some scenery along the coast, the design of the bridge is also very unique, is a very important hub here.
The only way to leave Edinburgh City and head to the Highlands is the narrowest part of Forth Bay Queen's Ferry (Queensferry)). There are three eye-catching bridges. Red is the magnificent Forth Bridge (Forth Bridge), completed in 1890, with three huge cantilever spans of 1447 meters. It used 5.9 10,000 tons of steel and 8 million rivets; the Foss Highway Bridge (Forth Road Bridge) is the first road bridge of the Queen's Ferry, which was completed 74 years later than the railway bridge and opened in 1964; and the second road bridge next to it is Queensferry-crossing, opened in 2016, and has set a lot of world firsts ()
You can see them building the new bridge and it is a wonderful structure. Coach trips to East Neuk and fishing villages or Saint Andrew's give you a good view.
Whether you’re getting a train across, or walking underneath, it’s hard not to be impressed with the scale of this structure.
Iconic rail bridge spanning the Firth of Forth. Still painted a 'rust' color. Worth a drive to Queensferry to take a photo (wide angle recommended!)
This red cantilevered steel bridge has become the symbol of Scotland's progress during the industrial age. It has become the modern landmark & symbol of Edinburgh.
