130th anniversary of the Forth Bridge

The picture was taken on the 130th anniversary of the Forth Bridge, which was officially opened on the 4th March 1890. For a short period before the construction of the bridge (and for a period in the 1920s), passenger trains ran down into South Queensferry itself and this picture was taken from the old railway line which has now been converted into a footpath and cycleway. Some foliage has recently been cleared allowing the return of a good viewpoint. The Fife village of North Queensferry at the other landfall of the bridge is visible on the left.
