Hiking

This mighty railway bridge across the Firth of Forth is a true emblem of Scotland. When completed in 1890, it had the world’s longest span at 1,775 feet (541 m). It remains one of the greatest cantilever trussed bridges in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Forth Bridge was designed by engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker.

Road cycling

You can't cycle over the Forth Bridge, but you can ride under it! From well below by the waters of the Firth of Forth the structure is mightily impressive, looking up at the cantilever railway bridge that was completed in 1889. There's also a couple of cafes nearby if you want to stop and admire the view a little longer.
