Forth Rail and a single line. The Forth Rail Bridge is one of the most recognisable man made structures in Scotland, possibly even the world. It has been a permanent fixture over the Firth of Forth for over 120 years and is still in use. This single line piece has been in the pipeline for quite a while. The scale and detail required proved difficult and can be seen in the lesser quality of some of the lines. However, it encapsulates the spirit of the Single Line collection. Showing the complexity in objects and structures that on the outside might seem simple. The design you see is the 23rd attempt to get it right. A simple design but one that took a while to get the desired result. It is also more difficult than you might expec...

The oldest of the three bridges which cross the Firth of Forth in the west of Scotland. This iconic steel cantilever structure - a symbol of Scotland's engineering heritage - connects Fife on the north bank and West Lothian in the south - just west of Edinburgh. It was voted Scotland's greatest man-made structure in 2016 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Construction started in 1882 and the bridge was opened by the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII, in 1890.

A section of the Forth Rail Bridge, between South and North Queensferry as it straddles the river Forth in Scotland. It is best viewed large. The bridge is Scotland largest preserved monument. Currently there is a massive program to repaint the bridge, so it has been covered in scaffolding for the past few years. It is nearing completion and they say that the new paintjob will last for 20 years. The plastic sheeting is necessary as they need a sealed environment as they blast the old paint and rust of the steel and extract it immediately before it can fall into the river below. This section of the bridge stands on 4 Caissons (anchors for the bridge). Caissons usually take the form of large cylinders, often circular or oval in shape, wh...
