Dundee - Tay Bridge from the south

The rail bridge was built in 1882-87 to replace the one which famously collapsed in a storm on 28th December 1879 with a train on it. The white bits on the supports for the high girders are where they are doing maintenance work.
Dundee is on the far shore. The Law is the greenish hill to the right.
