View of the Forth Rail Bridge from Mons Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Mons Hill is a perfect viewpoint of the Firth of Forth and the Forth Road Bridge. The top of the hill is wooded, so the best viewpoints are actually lower down at the edges of the woods.

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.
