Forth Bridge voted Scotland's greatest man-made wonder

The Forth Bridge has been voted Scotland's greatest man-made wonder.

A Unesco World Heritage Site, the 126-year-old bridge took almost a third of the votes in a survey by VisitScotland.

It beat landmark sites including Edinburgh Castle, The Kelpies and the Glenfinnan Viaduct to take the top spot in the poll.

The vote was carried out by the national tourism organisation to mark Scotland's year of innovation, architecture and design.

It also found that almost 60% of Brits had made an "architectural pilgrimage" in the UK, travelling to see a famous building or structure.
