Dreich is a Scots word for dull cloudy and rainy weather. The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge over the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles West of Edinburgh City Centre. It is considered an iconic structure and a symbol of Scotland, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was designed by the English engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker. The Firth of Forth, Scottish Gaelic: Linne Foirthe, is the estuary, firth in Scots, of several Scottish rivers including the River Forth. It meets the North Sea with Fife on the north coast and Lothian on the south. Firth is a cognate of fjord, a Norse word meaning a narrow inlet. It was known as Bodotria in Roman times. In the Norse sagas it was known as the Myrkvifiörd. Spring in the northern hemisphere technically starts on the 20 March, at the equinox, and lasts until the 20 or 21 June, the Summer solstice. This is also the case in Scotland.The months that make up the Spring season are March, April and May. However, for travelling at this time of year, I will be referring to April and May.
