Forth Bridges
A Family Attraction in Linlithgow
Family
The bridges that span the Firth of Forth connect South Queensferry (train station Dalmeny) with North Queensferry. The older catilevered rail bridge was opened in 1890 and in its time was a quite remarkeable feat of engineering that took over six years to build. The road suspension bridge was built in 1964 and in its way is just as spectacular a structure particularly when viewed from water level at either side. The Queensferry museum (http://www.cac.org.uk/) houses the photographs and tells many of the stories of the construction of these wonderful bridges. Combined with visiting the
delightful town of South Queensferry (with trips to Inchcolm Abbey - www.maidoftheforth.co.uk) and Deep Sea world at North Queensferry. A rail trip to Dalmeny and North Queensferry is greatly recommended.

Private House Stays
I have selected the properties on Private House Stays for their individuality that results from being privately owned. They take many forms from bed and breakfasts to small hotels but in each case it is the marque of the owner that sets it apart. This may be the charm of the furnishings, the wholesome home cooking or simply the atmosphere created by a charismatic host. I have inspected most of the establishments listed here and feel sure you will enjoy staying in them too.
Remember - booking through Private House Stays is free of charge.
