1. The Swilcan Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 797 reviews
The famous Swilcan Bridge on the 18th hole of the Old Course at the Home of Golf. The bridge was originally built over 700 years ago so shepherds could move their flock across the Swilcan Burn which meanders through what is now the 1st and 18th fairways. Today the Swilcan Bridge, with the 'Auld Grey Toun' providing the most beautiful of backdrops, is one of the most iconic settings in golf. So much more than a little stone crossing, the Swilcan Bridge is the history of the game, it's the magic moments, it's felt the footsteps of the true greats.

A must visit and photo opportunity for golf lovers. Sunday is the only day to visit and take pictures at this golf history site unless you are lucky enough to plat the Old Course!

First taste of freedom to explore our wonderful country again. The Forth bridges are a testament to amazing engineering feats in both the modern and bygone ages, especially the Rail bridge (1890) which has been thrilling tourists for over 130 years now. Scotland can be an enigma, politically confusing, religiously toxic but above all always visually stunning. One of the greatest picture shows on mother earth.

We went along primarily to photo the bridge, very lovely in the spring sunshine. We also stopped off for coffee at the Weigh House Tearoom. Lovely atmosphere, very nice people, and a lot of their cakes are gluten free. Get in early though if you want their scones!

Amazing road bridge which provides incredible views of Fife and the city of Dundee, especially of the newly opened V&A building. An amazing work of art which has an incredible history linking 2 great areas of Scotland.

Paranwell Bridge is a little unassuming bridge that has historical significance.. the plaques tell the story of how Mary Queen of Scots evaded a trap that was set locally and fled capture by escaping over this bridge on her way to Perth (referred to as it's historical name of St Johnstoun). The carvings are fairly weather beaten and eroded now, but there are metal plaques on the arch of the bridge that have been engraved with the original words. This site itself is fairly unassuming and the casual observer will no doubt pass it without realising exactly what it is or any historical significance it has. But, it's relatively easy to find if you're looking out for it.
