Today is the 90th birthday of the Fourth Forth Bridge...if you count in the way...or 2nd if you count eldest first.
I remember travelling over Kincardine Bridge by bus for summer holidays at our two grans in Dunfermline.

The Kincardine Bridge is marking its 90th anniversary today! The bridge serves as a direct road route over the River Forth between Falkirk and Fife and was opened to traffic at noon on the 29th October 1936. #kincardine #bridge #falkirk #fife #scotland
The Kincardine Bridge is marking its 90th anniversary today 🎉
The bridge was opened to traffic at noon on the 29th October 1936 by the Conveners of Fife, Stirlingshire and Clackmannanshire.
The @ScotRoadArchive has produced an updated article for the 90th anniversary and covers full details of the design, planning, specification, architecture and operation of the bridge.
The adjacent Clackmannanshire Bridge was opened in 2008.

Cheese slicer. Tonight's moon and the Queensferry Crossing bridge over the Firth of Forth, although this one is really the Fourth of Forth when we count in the Kincardine one.

There is something special about seeing these three generations of engineering, spanning the calm Forth in beautiful light. The rich autumnal colours on the shoreline add another layer to the scene, complementing the cool blues of the water and the elegant lines of the bridges.
Do you follow the adventures of eFoil Scotland and the brilliant films of Derek the Dolphin at the Forth Bridges? Lloyd is the guest speaker at North Queensferry Heritage Trust on Thursday 29th October at 7pm in North Queensferry Church. Non-members welcome (£3).
