As one gazes at this historical image, it becomes evident why this suspension bridge holds such significance in east central Scotland. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in time - June 7th, 1963 - when Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Company, along with Dorman Long and Sir William Arrol & Co. , worked tirelessly to connect West Lothian and Fife over the majestic Firth of Forth.
