WEST FIFERS are being offered the unique chance of grabbing a sought-after view of the Forth Bridge.

Barnado's Scotland will hold its popular 'Your View' at the bridge in September and are inviting those with a head for heights to join them.

Your View 22 will give members of the public the chance to stand atop the iconic structure and enjoy an uninterrupted 360-degree panoramic view of the Edinburgh and Fife coastline as they have never seen it before – all from a viewing platform 361 feet in the air.

This is now the fourth year that Barnardo’s Scotland, Network Rail, Balfour Beatty and The Briggers have joined forces to offer the public this exclusive opportunity to ascend more than 360 feet to the top of the Forth Bridge platform, with the three events run since 2017 raising more than £223,000 to support the work of the charity.

This year, the event will take place over three days – from September 23 to 25 – with around 900 spaces available, and two different experiences on offer.

Tickets will go on sale tomorrow (Friday) and are available from www.barnardos.org.uk/events/your-view-forth-bridge.

Martin Crewe, director for Barnardo’s Scotland said: “We are delighted to once again be able to offer this memorable experience to members of the public, and we are grateful to Network Rail, Balfour Beatty staff and The Briggers, who have supported us over the last few years with planning and making this event happen.

“We have always had excellent feedback from all participants that have taken part in the event and we’re looking forward to another fantastic Your View this year, which will also raise valuable funds to support our frontline work with disadvantaged children and families in Scotland.”
