Seriously impressive to be up close and personal to the Forth Bridge.

For four years and 362 days of walking I’ve dreamt of walking across the Firth of Forth and tonight I did.
The pedestrian way across the Forth is via the Road Bridge, the middle of the three crossings.

    Crammond Island 🏝️ might be a good place to camp around there but I think that kids might get on to it to drink?It was peaceful and uninhabited when I was there but I didn’t try to bunk down on it.The life boat nearby has the nickname of the Crammond Island Ferry due to getting people off the tidal island when the tide comes up! Probably best just to leave them there until low tide and they can walk back to Crammond which is sort of a village on the edge of Edinburgh.

  2. Enjoyed seeing this area because I lived in South Queensferry -‘The Ferry’ – for over 20 years. We had a view over the two original bridges but left before the second road bridge was built. Haven’t been back to see it yet, but from your photographs it looks both elegant and impressive.

    • That must have been a great place to live. Yes the new bridge manages to hold its own against the rail bridge which is quite an achievement!

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
