De Forth Bridge is een spoorbrug die de oevers van de Firth of Forth in Schotland verbindt. Dit type brug staat ook wel bekend als cantileverbrug. De brug ligt tussen de plaatsen North Queensferry en Queensferry. De bouw De werkzaamheden aan de brug begonnen onder leiding van Sir Thomas Bouch, maar werden gestaakt toen de Tay Bridge, een ander ontwerp van Bouch, instortte tijdens een storm. Het werk werd overgenomen door Sir John Fowler en Sir Benjamin Baker en uitgevoerd tussen 1883 en 1890. De brug werd geopend door de Prins van Wales, de latere koning Edward VII. De eerste vier jaar werden besteed aan de bouw van caissons (waterdichte kamers) en de bouw van de pijlers. Door het instorten van de Tay Bridge werd de Forth Bridge zo berekend dat het een orkaan zou moeten kunnen weerstaan. In totaal heeft de bouw van de brug aan 54 mensen het leven gekost. De brug is 2,46 kilometer lang en het spoor bevindt zich 45 meter boven het wateroppervlak. In de brug is ongeveer 54.860 ton staal en 7 miljoen klinknagels verwerkt. Voor het onderhoud heeft de brug een eigen onderhoudsploeg, waaronder een aantal permanent actieve schilders. Het te schilderen oppervlak bedraagt 59 ha en daarvoor is 31.800 liter verf nodig.
