The Forth Bridges, Queensferry
1 minute walk from Dalmeny station · Edinburgh and South East · Free entry
The spectacular original Forth Bridge has long been an icon of Scotland, carrying the mainline railway across the Firth of Forth. It was joined by the road bridge in 1964 - now only used by buses, taxis, cyclists and walkers - and then the striking Queensferry Crossing completed in 2017. This walk - which crosses the footway on the road bridge - offers great views of the Forth as well as the bridges. The route is linear but starts and finishes at the rail stations on either side of the Firth; there are regular services so you can return to the start by taking a train over the Rail Bridge. Note that the bridge is closed to walkers at times of high wind.
