FORTH

Bridge cro es the Forth at Queens ferry, using the little island of Inch garvie as the central support of its two huge 1710 ft. spans. Including piers there is about one mile of main span and more than half a mile of viaduct approach on the south side and there is a clear 150 ft. under the bridge at high; water, the ordinary spring tide being about 18 ft. It was begun soon after New Year 1883, and was finished before Xmas 1889.
