It’s time to make a landmark decision...

THE new £3.5 billion Queensferry Crossing across the Firth of Forth opened last week. The massive engineering project was built in the shadow of another Scottish landmark – the Forth Bridge — and has been hailed as a welcome new fixture on the Scottish landscape. We asked our Email Jury what their favourite Scottish landmark is.

It has to be the Forth Bridge and the Ford Road Bridge. I was only small when we went there during the annual family holiday to Edinburgh. The road bridge was just the two uprights and one of the workers noticed me trying to take a photo. He took me and my father to a better vantage point so I could get a better photo of the old and the new bridges. Lorna Smith, North Yorkshire.

Dunnottar Castle because of its historic significance and majestic beauty. James Strachan, Aberdeenshire.

My favourite is Edinburgh Castle – people from all over the world stare at it each day. It’s an absolutely beautiful sight. James Brown, Whitburn.

The monument on the Law in Dundee. To me it means home. Bill Bell, Nottingham.

The Forth Bridge is my favourite – it really was a structure ahead of its time. Bea Smith, Doncaster.

It’s definitely the Kelpies. They have to be seen to be believed. Judi Martin, Aberdeenshire.

I have been in England since 1971 and when I see Dunoon Pier I know I am home to bonnie Scotland, especially when we come round the road over the Rest And Be Thankful. Hamilton McLean, Harwood.

Of the three Forth bridges, the Forth Bridge has to be my favourite. But my vote goes to the Glenfinnan Viaduct – chiefly because I live not far from it! Davie Kerr, Lochaber.

Edinburgh Castle because as a teenager when I went out at weekends to nightclubs the castle was always looming above me. Then, when I was a young newly married woman, I worked in the Royal Mile and there was the castle looming again as I hurried to get to work in time – I was always late! Margaret Gibb, Burntisland.

I think the Forth Bridge is still a marvellous feat. It stands for ingenuity and is a tribute to the men who built her and sadly those who lost their lives. Lorraine Anderson, Edinburgh.
