Iconic Bridges and Aqueducts

This collection spans centuries of engineering across the Lothians, featuring the trio of iconic bridges over the Firth of Forth: the Victorian cantilever Forth Bridge, the suspension Forth Road Bridge, and the modern cable-stayed Queensferry Crossing. The list also includes 19th-century masonry aqueducts carrying the Union Canal, such as the Slateford and Almond structures, alongside historic stone crossings like the 15th-century Cramond Brig and the elegant St Bernard’s Bridge over the Water of Leith.
