This is the very distinctive and famous Forth Rail Bridge across the River Forth in Scotland.
The 2.5 km. (1.5 mile) bridge was the world’s first major steel bridge, with its gigantic girder spans of 521 m. (1710 ft.), it ranks as one of the great feats of civilization. It was begun in 1883 and formally completed on 4 March 1890 at a princely sum for then of 3,200,000 pounds (over a billion in todays money). Up to 4,000 men worked on it (57 died) and today it is the largest Scottish 'listed building' and presents one of the largest painting challenges in the world.
