Rudy’s first visit to see the Forth Bridge was exactly one year before his second visit. His first trip was from Dalmeny on the south shore of the Firth of Forth and this time he walked down from North Queensferry station at it’s northern end.
For his third visit I think we’ll plan to come back on a nice sunny, blue sky summer’s day.
The Forth Bridge was opened on in 1890 and since 2015 has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. t’s one of the most recognisable built landmarks in Scotland even hidden in the mist!
Next to the rail bridge are two road crossings – the Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing. Both clearly visible from the beach at North Queensferry. Usually.
The Forth Bridge towers over North Queensferry but it doesn’t intimidate wee terriers out of having a run around the harbour beach.
North Queensferry is a nice little village and most definitely deserves another visit on a nicer weather day to explore.
The Forth Bridge is 110 metres above high water. This means the walk from the railway station down to the shore at North Queensferry covers the same height in quite a short distance so be aware it’s a fair steep climb getting back up!
