Walk, Firth of Forth Bridges

Walk, Firth of Forth Bridges, Approximately 2.0 mile or 3.2 kilometres

This is not circular walk.

We parked in a free car park off the B924 (this part of the B924 is Edinburgh Road) in South Queensferry, between the two bridges but closer to the rail bridge. It was snowing when we arrived so we had a cup of tea and some sandwiches in the van and by the time we finished the sun was shining. I took before and after photos of the bridges, some with it snowing and some in the sun.

First we headed east to the very famous rail bridge, then underneath it and on for about 200 meters passed it, for a view looking west. Then we turned round and headed west along the river for the road bridge, a pretty straightforward walk as you can see the bridges for most of it.

Through South Queensferry the road moves away from the river but there are still places to get down to the riverside.

There are also shops, bars and eating places in South Queensferry and by now the sun was shining, although it was still very cold.  The road is very narrow so you have to be careful with the traffic, it reminded me very much of Hawes in Yorkshire.

About half way between the bridges the sun was out and I managed to get the following shots, while Dot had a quick look in some shops.

We continued walking until we were under the road bridge but it is a bit disappointing, as there doesn't appear to be anywhere to view the bridge, or even get a good photo.

I walked through what looked like boat yard to get a shot, I don't know if it was privet property as there were no sings but I didn't stay there long. There were good views looking back towards the rail bridge though

The walk back to the car park (the same way we came), was uneventful but the views are slightly different and the sun was shining. We had another cup of tea in the van, to warm us up but then thought we should get back before it snowed again.
