KINCARDINE BRIDGE

The bridge was constructed between 1932 and 1936, to a design by Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners, Consulting Engineers and Architect, Donald Watson. It was the first road crossing of the River Forth downstream of Stirling, completed nearly thirty years before the Forth Road Bridge, which stands fifteen miles to the south-east.
The bridge was constructed with a swinging central section which remained in use until 1988, that would allow larger ships to sail upstream to the small port at Alloa.
Now that our babysitting stint is over for the week, Weemo and I cycled across the bridge to Culross for a nice relaxing coffee. It wasn't so relaxing on the way back as we battled into a strong headwind!
