You’re standing on one of the world’s most significant long-span suspension bridges, 46m above the water. With a distance of 1,006 metres between the two towers, this bridge was the 4th longest in the world when it opened. Where are you? #ForthBridges #ForthBridgesTrail

On this, the eve of the 60th anniversary of the Forth Road Bridge, we take a moment to remember and pay tribute to the seven men who sadly gave their lives during its construction. They leave a lasting and historic legacy. #ForthBridges #ForthRoadBridge60

Happy 60th Forth Road Bridge! Look out for the Queensferry Rowing Club meeting North Queensferry Coastal Rowing Club underneath the bridge about 1230. Then the tugs from Targe Towing Ltd will be doing a display with their fire water cannon around 1245. #forthroadbridge60
