6 Bridges in Edinburgh That You Shouldn't Miss

August 22, 2021 Major Galusha

Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital city, renowned for its heritage, culture and festivals. Take a long walk around the centre to explore the World Heritage Sites of the Old Town and New Town, as well as all the area’s museums and galleries. Then stop for a delicious meal made from fresh Scottish produce before heading out to take in one of Edinburgh’s many events — including the famous summer festivals of culture, or the Winter Festivals of music, light and ceilidhs.

Forth Road Bridge

Reviewed By SteveWalsh29 - London, United Kingdom

Start at the 3 Bridges Viewpoint and Walk across the Old Road Bridge from the South Shore, it has amazing views of the new bridge on one side, and when you walk the other side on the way back of the amazing Rail Bridge. The way the bridge moves when a Bus goes past is not something I would recommend if you have vertigo.

Queensferry Crossing

Reviewed By Sandyd264 - Kincardine, Canada

We went across this in very stormy weather. The wind deflectors worked very well, and we had a smooth and steady ride. The design is very pleasing and as the passenger, I was able to get some really nice angles in the shots. The next day, this bridge was closed, due to falling ice from the staves. However, many bridges in England and indeed Europe were closed for this reason. The bridge has been closed less than its predecessor ever was. If you get a chance, take a trip across the bridge and back! Definitely recommend.

Built between 1829 & 1832, this bridge or elevated street spans more than 1000 feet in length. I love the views while walking on the streets through such an ancient city. Cowgate can be seen from George IV Bridge.
