The Forth bridge was opened in 1890 after eight years
of construction. It was the first major structure in Britain to be made of
steel and at the time the world's longest multi-span cantilever bridge. Its
construction resulted in a continuous East Coast railway route from London to
Aberdeen.
The Forth Bridge is a UNESCO World Heritage site since
July 2015.
