| Visit to Queensferry Crossing |
Sunday 27th March 2016 - I was very fortunate in being allowed onto the centre tower of the under construction Queensferry Crossing over Firth of Forth. We got to the road deck level. Then to the very top of the tower. 210 metres high. The views were stunning. Here are the images I captured.
