Informations supplémentaires:
The world famous Forth Bridge crossing the Firth of Forth from North Queensferry. Opened in 1890, The Forth Bridge is a Scottish icon that is recognised the world over as the most famous of cantilever designs. The world's first major steel structure, the Forth Bridge represents a key milestone in the history of modern railway civil engineering and still holds the record as the world’s longest cantilever bridge. The world's smallest working light tower sits in North Queensferry, alongside one of the engineering wonders of the world. Built in 1817 by Robert Stevenson, after restoration in 2010, the Harbour Light Tower has now reopened on North Queensferry town pier. A key part of the 'Queensferry Passage' across the Forth, this tiny part of Scottish maritime history has now been fully restored to working order.
