The Forth Road Bridge, opened in 1964 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, is a long-span suspension bridge over 2.5 kilometres in length, with towers over 150 metres high. The Queensferry Crossing, opened in 2017, is the newest of the three and spans the firth with its modern design. Don't miss out on the opportunity to see these engineering marvels up close and appreciate their beauty and significance in Scottish history.

5.00I cannot say enough amazing things about Ed. Unfortunately, our flight was cancelled and we were a day and a half late to Scotland. We had booked Ed for two days, but were only left with a day plus a few hours. He was so gracious and kind trying to get everything in one day. We were able to start early and see all the sights we wanted to see. Great communication and patience with us as our flight kept getting delayed. I would absolutely recommend Ed without any reservations. David, MJ, Sabrina, Sophia, Soraya, and Savanna
