The Forth Bridge is a cantileverrailway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of central Edinburgh. Completed in 1890, it is considered a symbol of Scotland (having been voted Scotland’s greatest man-made wonder in 2016), and is a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site. It was designed by English engineers Sir John Fowlerand Sir Benjamin Baker. It is sometimes referred to as the Forth Rail Bridge (to distinguish it from the adjacent Forth Road Bridge), although this is not its official name.
The Firth of Forth is a large estuary in Scotland that connects the North Sea to the River Forth, which flows past Edinburgh and Fife. The Firth of Forth is bordered by shoreline towns and is known for historic bridges that connect Fife and Edinburgh.
The Firth of Forth has a rich history, including religious settlements and a Pictish religious house dating back to the fifth century.
The estuary was also a busy commercial river in the past, with fishing vessels and the transportation of coal and lime. Today, tankers use the Forth to export oil, LPG, ethylene, and chemical and oil derivatives.
