The Forth Rail Bridge was the world’s first steel bridge when it began construction in 1883, completing in 1890. Its unique double-cantilever design is one of Scotland’s engineering marvels and also contributes to the iconic status of the structure. The bridge connects rail service from Edinburgh to the north of Scotland between the cities of North and South Queensferry. While it is not possible to walk along the rail bridge, excellent views of it can be had by walking across the neighbouring Forth Road Bridge.
