Why visit
It gives you one of Scotland's strongest big-structure stops without needing tickets for the core visit: the engineering views are obvious, the waterfront setting is easy to pair with South Queensferry, and the stop can stay short if attention spans are limited.
Access
The Forth Bridge is only open to trains; for walking or cycling, the official site directs visitors to the Forth Road Bridge footpath and cycleway.
