Firth of Forth

Forth Railway bridge



This bridge is in Scotland standing over the Firth of Forth. It is a massive structure which still excites tourists till this day. the amazing size of the bridge has it undergoing repainting every period of the year as every time it is fully painted once (takes four years!), the paint would have started to peel again.
