Forth Rail Bridge In Scotland Royalty-Free Stock Image

The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge over the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, to the east of the Forth Road Bridge, and 14 kilometres (9 mi) west of central Edinburgh. It is often called the Forth Rail Bridge or Forth Railway Bridge to distinguish it from the Forth Road Bridge, although strictly speaking this is incorrect. The bridge connects Scotland's capital city with Fife, and acts as a major artery connecting the north-east and south-east of the country. Described as the one internationally recognised Scottish landmark, it may be nominated by the British government to be added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Scotland.
