The Union Bridge in Glasgow. This was the site of the first railway bridge across the Clyde. The original bridge was build in the 1860s, but the current one dates from the 1890s.

Looking up the River Kelvin through one of the main arches of the Great Western Bridge in Glasgow. Designed by Bell and Miller and opened in 1891, it's primarily built of cast iron.

It's only from underneath that you can really appreciate the engineeeing which has gone into this bridge and kept it standing for more than 130 years
