-Look Up, Look Down Challenge, Week 96
Every Thursday, I publish a post containing photos taken from above or below, and invite you to join in the challenge by posting your own images with an up or down perspective.
************************************************************************************
This week I’m featuring one of the architectural wonders of Scotland, that has recently been added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. For the best views of this stunning bridge, go to North Queensferry where you can admire this feat of engineering from below.
It is the world’s longest multi-span cantilever bridge and has a distinctive industrial look.
It opened in 1890 and was an important milestone in bridge design and construction during the period when railways came to dominate long-distance land travel. Sadly, many men, and boys, lost their lives in the construction of the bridge – the youngest was just thirteen. There is a small memorial to them close to the bridge.

I adore this bridge! I go to see it every time I’m in Edinburgh and next time I want to be on the ferry, which goes out to a local island.

Your captures are beautiful- what a stunning bridge – how unusual for the time it was built in The architect must have been far ahead of his time!
