Yesterday I decided to walk to South Queensferry. Not a vast walk but an enjoyable one. It involves walking across the Forth Bridge. My first port of call upon leaving Dunfermline was Rosyth. It is the only example of a Garden City in Scotland. I have included a photo taken there of a house and hedge. Having left Rosyth l was amazed to see a deer galloping across the motorway/dual carriageway between cars. It got safely back into cover. The Forth Road Bridge was very blustery but afforded beautiful views as ever. On my arrival in South Queensferry l waited for a bus to take me home. It was excellent walk.
Another place I'll have to visit when I return. Thanks for your "walking tours!"
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying them.
DeleteLooks a bit 'fresh' on that bridge !
ReplyDeleteIt was, believe me!
DeleteThe pictures and names stir the imagination!
ReplyDeleteThank you for these lovely photos, your walks always look fascinating. Would love to walk the Forth bridge myself one day, it can’t be any more nerve wracking than the Golden Gate in San Francisco! Also love the selfie. Cheers, M
ReplyDeleteHave done both but can only say the Forth Bridge is better in that when on the Forth Road Bridge (twentieth century road bridge) you can look downriver to the east and see the Forth Bridge which is a nineteenth century rail bridge and upriver to the west to see the Queensferry Crossing which is a twenty first century road bridge. The only place in the world where you have that combination over a major river.
DeleteI didn’t know you could walk over the Golden Gate. I don’t do heights so had to gird my loins for this!
DeleteGood points made Jim!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fine walk, never knew Rosyth was a garden city, my cousin used to live there and I spent a good few weekends down there for football and pub crawls!
