The opening title of the film gives it away Dermo. "Forth Rail Bridge, North Queensferry, 2012".
But, yeah, North Queensferry is the Fife end and South Queensferry is over in the Lothians.That bridge is as iconic as the Eiffel Tower in France and just as well known the world over. Those Victorian builders were some guys.
Memorials have just been un-veiled at both ends to commemorate the 73 men who died building and maintaining the bridge. BBC News
Just a wee snippet of information, there are no flashing warning lights on top of the bridge because when it was built aeroplanes still hadn't been invented, so there was no need for them. (Bridge opened in 1890).
