The Big Red Bridge........

....we let the train take the strain the other day....

... to give the Adorable Grandchild her first real outing by rail. She loved it, so did we (my younger sister came along too). It was a lovely carefree day with nothing else to worry about on the journey except which colours to use to fill in the spaceship......

.....or whether we had joined up all the dots properly..........and all the while taking in the beautiful scenery en route....

.......great vantage point for viewing the Road Bridge up close and personal.......

 

....(the heavy grey clouds soon turned into fluffy white ones, thankfully)....

......whilst trying very hard not to look down....eek!

.....Inchcolm Island......

......the beginnings of the new road bridge, which will be called 'The Queensferry Bridge'....

...and obviously, when you're on the train and going through that marvellous red iron structure which is a magnificent piece of engineering (though sadly, many men fell to their deaths into the murky depths of the water below while the building work was going on all those years ago), you can't really capture a decent pic but here's some of that Big Red Bridge's beautiful red girders to be going on with!....

.....then at journey's end, a visit to a lovely little museum but that's a whole other post, so 'til next time.....

Au Revoir and Many Thanks for passing by and leaving those Adorable Comments
