New directional visitor signs for the Forth Bridges Trail have been unveiled today on World Heritage Day.
The visitor trail, which showcases Scotland’s iconic Forth Bridges and the distinctive historic communities of North and South Queensferry, has new directional fingerpost signs in place to help visitors navigate the route.
The Forth Bridges Trail is a five-mile circular route bringing together 24 points of interest in North and South Queensferry and along the Forth Road Bridge.
The trail offers historical facts, local tales and folklore and panoramic views of the three Bridges and the Firth of Forth.
Developed by the Forth Bridges Tourism Group, the Trail was designed to encourage visitors to explore the area further, on both sides of the Forth, and support the area’s year-round tourism businesses which include boat trips, outdoor activities, visitor attractions, cafes and restaurants, independent retailers and accommodation providers.
Supporting Scotland’s ambitions to be a world-leading responsible destination, the Trail is accessible by foot, bike and public transport, including train stations at North Queensferry and Dalmeny.
The Forth Bridges Trail signs have been designed to reflect the famous red riveted steelwork of the Forth Bridge, which was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 2015.
