Spring Drive North Over Queensferry Crossing Firth Of Forth Scotland

Tour Scotland Spring travel video of a road trip drive North, with Scottish bagpipes and drums music, to cross the Queensferry Crossing the new Forth Road Bridge which spans the Firth of Forth on visit to Rosyth in Fife. Rosyth, Scottish Gaelic: Ros Fhìobh, is a town three miles south of the centre of Dunfermline, Fife. The town was founded as a garden city in 1909, and was built to form the coastal port of Dunfermline. Rosyth is almost contiguous with neighbouring Inverkeithing, separated only by the M90 motorway. The Queensferry Crossing, formerly the Forth Replacement Crossing, is a road bridge built alongside the existing Forth Road Bridge which carries the M90 motorway across the Firth of Forth between Lothian, at South Queensferry, into Fife and onwards to Perthshire, at North Queensferry. The bridge is 683 feet high above high tide, equivalent to approximately 48 London buses stacked on top of each other and 25% higher than existing Forth Road Bridge. It is estimated the construction involved approximately 10 million man hours. The Queensferry Crossing is 33 miles from Perth, Perthshire and 14 miles from Edinburgh. Roads still much quieter due to Coronavirus Pandemic.
