Summer Bridges Over Firth Of Forth On History Visit To South Queensferry Lothian Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Summer travel video clip of the three bridges which span three centuries at the Firth of Forth on visit and trip to the coast and waters by South Queensferry in Lothian, Britain, United Kingdom. The Queensferry Crossing is the latest road bridge, the Forth Road Bridge is a suspension bridge which opened in 1964, and the Forth cantilever railway bridge which was opened on 4 March 1890. The Firth of Forth, Scottish Gaelic: Linne Foirthe, is the estuary or firth of several Scottish rivers including the River Forth. It meets the North Sea with Fife on the north coast and Lothian near Edinburgh on the south coast. It was known as Bodotria in Roman times. In the Norse sagas it was known as the Myrkvifiörd. An early Welsh name is Merin Iodeo, or the " Sea of Iudeu." August is the last full month of Summer in Scotland and a prime time to explore Scotland's natural attractions with long daylight hours, upwards of 13 to 15 hours per day. This is one of the warmest months of the year, along with July, and you should expect some wind and rain, though just how much depends on where you travel. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. The date for astronomical Summer in Scotland is Tuesday, 21 June, ending on Friday, 23 September. @tourscotland All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
