Really called The Glasgow Arc….but we need to rename everything up here! Sadly, our Squinty bridge is broken at the moment, one of the cables snapped…they reckon it could be months before it opens again!

A lazy Summer day at the Binks in South Queensferry, Scotland. The Bridge is the Forth Road Bridge. Located 9 miles (15 km) west of Edinburgh, the Forth Road Bridge spans the Firth of Forth between South Queensferry and North Queensferry. When it was opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II on the 4th September, 1964, the bridge was the longest in the world outside the USA. The bridge is nearly 1828m (2000 yards) long while its main span, of 1006m (3300 feet), is the tenth longest in the world; its towers are over 150m (500 feet) high. The deck, which carries four lanes of traffic with two walkways, is suspended from cables which are 5.9cm (2.3 inches) in diameter and composed of 11,618 high-tensile steel wires, giving a total length of wire of 49,280 km (30,621 miles).

The magnificent rail bridge spanning the River Forth. This shot is taken from the North Queensferry side just as dusk was arriving. I spent 4 hours in Photoshop removing all the extra white tarpaulin to leave the remainder in the shape of the St. Andrews cross as well as removing the portakabins, trucks, vans and workmen. Hope you like it.

The Black Watch Memorial in front of Lt. General Wade’s Bridge over the River Tay at Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. The Black Watch Memorial was unveiled in 1877 in honor of the Black Watch Regiment which was first established in Aberfeldy. The monument takes the form of a massive cairn surmounted by the statue of Private Farquhar Shaw dressed in the original uniform of the regiment. The bridge was first opened to traffic at the end of October 1733. Wade regarded it the greatest of his considerable achievements in road-making. In 9 years he had personally supervised the construction of over 250 miles of military roads in the Highlands – the first engineered roads in Britain since Roman times. lt is now the only one of Wade’s 35 major bridges to remain in use as a public highway. Built for 18th century wheeled carriages, it survives to the 21st century as a great memorial to a great roadbuilding engineer. The River Tay, Scotland longest river, meanders across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Dynamic-Photo HDR.

This unique steel Cantilever Bridge with three diamond-shaped towers crosses the river Forth from South Queensferry to North Queensferry, Scotland. The bridge was designed by Sir John Fowler and Benjamin Baker. The bridge was built by Sir William Arrol. Constructed started in 1883. The bridge was opened in 1890 at a cost of £2.5m and 57 fatalities among the construction crew (it is now believed that the actual death toll is likely to have been closer to 80). The bridge is still in use today, carrying the railways to the north from Edinburgh. The Forth Bridge is an Historical Scotland Category A Listed Building. Camera: Canon EOS 450D Shot composed of 3 HDR images Stitched together. Each HDR image is made up of 3 bracketed JPGs, so there are 9 images in total making up the shot.

It was a glorious day today (2 April 09), so Sylvia and I went for a very pleasant walk in the country. We started off at the village of Ratho, Edinburgh, Scotland and walked along the Union Canal. On the way we passed a number of old bridges including this fine example. This 31.5 mile contour canal travels from The Falkirk Wheel to Edinburgh. Popular features of this gentle lock-free waterway include the Avon, Almond and Slateford Aqueducts, which are among the finest in Britain.

Seil island in on the east side of the Firth of Lorn to the south west of Oban,Scotland, Seil Sound sits between the island and the mainland and is crossed by Clachan Bridge. Clachan Bridge is more popularly known as the Bridge Over The Atlantic. The original design for the bridge, by John Stevenson of Oban, was for a two-arched bridge but this was modified to one arch when it was built by Robert Mylne in 1792. / canonEos400D

The view from North Bridge in the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. The large building with the green copper dome is the 300 year old former Bank of Scotland headquarters, now headquarters of the merged HBOS. Behind it can be seen The Hub, at the top of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. Its gothic spire – the highest point in central Edinburgh – towers over the surrounding buildings, including the adjacent castle. In the centre of the shot are the stately towers of New College on The Mound and the cream buildings with red roofs to the right of that are called Ramsay Garden. At bottom right is the National Gallery of Scotland. Finally, in the background, from the centre all the way to the right edge is the imposing bulk of Edinburgh Castle.

On our families recent visit to Northumberland, in Northern England, we spent an afternoon at this lovely bridge, just taking in and enjoying the countryside. This is the Union Chain Bridge, which spans the River Tweed, bwtween Horncliffe, Northumberland, in England and Fishwick, Borders, Scotland. It was fun walking across it and back. My kids loved yelling from one side to the other, my little girl being able to say that she was shouting all the way to Scotland. LOL! The bridge has a fascinating history. / “When it opened in 1820 it was the longest wrought iron suspension bridge in the world with a span of 137 metres (449 ft), and the first vehicular bridge of its type in the United Kingdom. The bridge has been maintained by the Tweed Bridges Trust, since the abolition of turnpike tolls in 1883. It is a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument.” / It is being restored for its bicentenial celebration in 2020. This is a HDR image combining 5 bracketed shots using Photomatix Pro for Macs. Slight adjustments in lighting and contrast were made using the enhanced details tool. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 28-300mm IS zoom lens / f/14 / 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60 / ISO 125 Selective colouring was applied using Photoshop CS.

South Queensferry, Scotland, seen from the Back Braes (back lanes) at 12:53 PM on Christmas Eve, 2009. Snow (other than the short lived inch or so) has become increasingly rare at this latitude in Scotland over the last 20 years, so it is nice to see a decent fall of snow, even if it does cause chaos to our transport systems. South Queensferry was created a Burgh of Regality in the 13th century and made a Royal Burgh in 1636. It traded actively with Europe in the 17th century. Buildings dating from this period include Laburnum House, the Hawes Inn, the Tolbooth Tower, the Black Castle, the Old Parish Church and Plewlands House. St Mary’s Episcopal Church (from 1441) was a monastery and hospice before the Reformation. The Hawes Inn features in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel ‘Kidnapped’. Today, South Queensferry is a dormitory settlement for Edinburgh and a yachting centre with electronics, oil storage and tourism. Dominating the shot is the Forth Road Bridge. The bridge is nearly 1828m (2000 yards) long while its main span, of 1006m (3300 feet), is the tenth longest in the world; its towers are over 150m (500 feet) high. The deck, which carries four lanes of traffic with two walkways, is suspended from cables which are 5.9cm (2.3 inches) in diameter and composed of 11,618 high-tensile steel wires, giving a total length of wire of 49,280 km (30,621 miles). When it was opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II on the 4th September, 1964, the bridge was the longest in the world outside the USA. Along with the Forth Rail Bridge (about half a mile to the East) these two bridges form the main traffic arteries north and south.
