Boat trip on the Firth of Forth
Jul 21st
This morning we decided to take the 10:30 boat trip along the Firth of Forth estuary. The boat took us past the road bridge which we drove over yesterday and under the Forth (railway) Bridge. As you can see in the photo the bridge is currently under going serious maintance. My image also shows the Maid of the Forth, the ferry which we travelled on.
St. Andrews Cathedral – Scotland
Jul 20th
After an interesting but relative un-photogenic drive up the east coast of Fife we ended up at the beautiful town of St. Andrew”s. After phoning my friend Steve to find out where I needed to visit I was was told to check out the cathedral. I did and I was very impressed. It was a shame that the weather was so overcast but as you can see the cathedral is largely ruinous, but the fact it was finished in 1318 says a lot. I only spent about 2 hours in the town and didn”t get much chance to see the famous golf courses but I am definitely planning a trip back up to this area of the world in the next 12 months.
Driving over the Forth Road Bridge
Jul 20th
Edinburgh being near the the east coast of Scotland I thought it would be interesting to take the trip north to explore the coastal villages. To get there we travelled over the Forth Road Bridge. The photo isn’t all that interesting but I thought I would post it up here as I did take it from a moving car.
