Well, not anymore!  When the present paint job is completed in 2012 the world famous Forth Rail Bridge should not need painting for another 25 years, perhaps even as long as another 40 years, thus putting an end to the meaning of the phrase “like painting the Forth Rail Bridge”

The Forth Rail Bridge is an iconic image of Scotland.  For the photographer, the bridge’s structure and colour make it a great subject, and when viewed against either the sunrise or sunset it is quite stunning.
