Quelques endroits le long de cette route pour dormir la nuit. Je recommanderais une nuit seulement. Parfois, des adolescents arrivent dans les voitures la nuit, mais ils sont inoffensifs. Gratuit!

A few spots along this road to sleep for the night. Would recommend one night only. Sometimes some teenagers come along in cars at night but they are harmless. Free!

Einige Orte entlang dieser Straße nachts schlafen. Ich würde nur eine Nacht empfehlen. Manchmal kommen Jugendliche nachts im Auto an, aber sie sind harmlos. Kostenlos!

Pasamos la noche aquí tranquilamente. Olor a mar. Ruido del tren. Vistas al maravilloso puente (luces encendidas toda la noche). Ruido de gaviotas y pájaros. En los alrededores nos encontramos con aguiluchos y algún que otro corzo, pero ninguna foca.

    Great views of the bridges. Queensferry very nice for a stroll with cobbled streets, nice eateries and bars. A bit noisy for a while with cars but they stopped, as did the trains, to allow a good night's sleep. Got a spot off the road, next to a small beach. Some big puddles/pot holes.

  • 4/5

    Aside from the train noise was pretty quiet and decent spot. There were a few cars at night trying to impress the girls but never made any noise and kept to themselves.

  • 4/5

    busy with cars until late, cars racing in the distance, one other camper.

  • 5/5

    Great little spot for a one night stay. The trains are quite loud until around 22:30/23:00 ish but we weren’t disturbed at all through the night. There was a bunch of people in cars a little further down the lane but they cleared around 22:00 and no further disturbances. Great views from this spot, can recommend!

    Great stop for me. Found by accident when I spotted another camper. Yes trains, yes other cars, but none bothered me & I had a good nights rest. Bridges all within walking distance for me as a photographer although I didn't have good weather, so I will have to try again. Lots of food places within a short pleasant walk too. Please don't park on turning circle however, there were issues.

    very jealous I got beaten to this spot the sound of distant bagpipes welcoming tourists, the giant red bridge with the occasional train going overhead, the sound of the waves. truly an incredible place although would advise soundproofing especially against the trains :)

    Pàrquing perfecto para pasar una noche, estuvimos dos vehiculos. Tranquilo con vistas a los puentes espectaculares y la puesta de sol impresionante. Sin ningún tipo de servicios. Despertar con los pajaros.

  • 4/5

    Endroit calme au bout d'une impasse en bordure d'eau. Quelques passages au petit matin (essentiellement des joggeurs). Quelques détritus ramassés au petit matin.

    Wunderschöner Ort zum Übernachten, da der Parplatz rechts unterhalb der Forth Bridge liegt. Leider ist viel Müll am Boden und eine Ratte wurde auch durch mich gesichtet. Trotzdem ein Halt wert!

  • 3/5

    Las vistas al puente son increíbles y es un sitio poco concurrido. Por otro lado se oye bastante el tren, pero durmiendo dentro de la furgoneta se está bien. Más adelante de donde se marca el parking hay más sitios pero alguno tiene basura y se puede ver alguna que otra rata comiendo. En general para pasar la noche está bien.

    Lovely spot for the night, with an amazing view! Teenage's do use it as a rally track, they leave around 10pm. Train is loud to begin with but you get used to it. Local places to eat within a 5 minute walk, we tried the Thirty Knots & it was delicious! For breakfast: The Knockout Kitchen 10 minute drive away. They do a big breakfast for £7.50 Highly recommend as it will set you up for the day!

    As a local spot thought I would try it out. fantastic view and got the off the road spot. However I did not stay overnight. It was a nice evening so I was sitting with the side door open eating my dinner and 3 Rats made an appearance. Not for me sadly.

  • 5/5

    Some teenagers around but they disappeared and alittle noisey from their cars, but the view makes up for it!

  • 1/5

    Ganz enge Strasse und viele Roudies. Absolut nichts für Womo.

    Lots of people during the day. Trains stopped around 11. Vodafone service was limited.

    Sehr schöner Spot mit Blick auf die Brücke.

  • 5/5

    We managed to get the prime spot a flat raised spot overlooking the bridges. Quiet enough spot few cars went past. Great for beachcombing!

  • 5/5

    This is an amazing spot for a small van. We stayed the night in our caddy camper with an amazing view out the back window. Couple lads with loud cars hanging about so could be a common local hangout spot but they never stayed late. As mentioned train overhead stops at about 9 so a peaceful night to be had.

    Great overnight spot for the start of our journey. Very quiet. The trains ceased on our stay between about 9 pm and 5.30 am but weren’t very noisy anyway. Fantastic night view of this engineering icon.

Plenty of cut ins along this road to park 4 the night, very peaceful and no traffic using the rd, the only noise is from the water lapping against the rocky shore, will deffo be bk here for an overnight to see the bridge lit up in the evening.

    Perfect spot for a scenic view. stopped here with the family for a picnic dinner! Didn't stay the night but looked perfect!!

  • 2/5

    Stayed here last night,our first time in a motorhome,had a good nights sleep after the trains stopped running (around 11:30ish) There were a few ‘boy racers’ around for a while but they were no problem.

  • 4/5

    Beautiful views of the bridge, quite some locals around hanging around in cars. Some noise of the trains, not too bad though

  • 5/5

    Fanrastic view!

  • 2/5

    Photographers around until about 10pm, taking photos of the bridges. Lots of cars driving along road and back again. I didn’t feel safe or settled there and moved on.

    Quelques emplacement le long de la route très peu fréquentée. Vue sur le pont et sur le fleuve. Très calme

  • 3/5

    Superbe vue sur le pont de Forth, Bémol sur la fréquentation du lieu (nombreux véhicules à passer pour des raisons qui nous sont restées obscures)
