The Forth Bridge, Scotland

Crossing Scotland’s Forth estuary and carrying over 200 trains a day, this 19th-century iconic red structure is one of Scotland’s six UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 

At 2,467 metres in length, the bridge holds the record as the world’s longest cantilever bridge. It was built between 1883 and 1890 by Sir John Fowler and Benjamin Baker with the help of over 4,500 men and its three towers are over 100 metres high, making it a real sight to behold.
