What a glorious day it was...

  1. In Scotland!

    Yes, it was sunny - honest!

    I left Bristol Airport at 6.30am, it was torrential rain there, landed in Edin burg it was freezing and overcast. As I headed towards Prestwick the Sun started to break through, and it got to the heady heights of 14C !

    Had lunch in The Hawes Inn, my favourite place in the World, South Queensferry looking out at the Firth of Forth rail bridge.

    In the 26 years since I first saw the bridge, and every year I've seen it since 1997, today was the first time I've seen it in all it's glory, sans scaffolding and plastic sheeting

  9. Think it would have to be flying Scotsman, whilst Mallard and SNG are fantastic trains they would look too modern for the perfect picture.

  10. I love architecture and history like this - only ever flown over it on the way into Edinburgh - great pics

    I once drove over the road bridge and came back over the rail bridge ( on a train ) in the same day, its a magnificent structure
