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. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February.
