@izzythepush,
No - because I do not like high bridges and I arrived by train from Victoria Station.

@izzythepush,
Friends and their (male) acquaintances jumped down from the Tay Railway Bridge after stag night/bachelor party. Which was a bad idea (or perhaps not so bad) because the groom's f-i-l to-be was JP on one side of the forth, his aunt-to-be on the other ...

@Walter Hinteler,
Absolutely, Walt.

That's because it's a gorgeous gorge.

The "Wertherbrücke" in Wuppertal ...
