Entrance to the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel.
Occupying a stunning site overlooking the bridge over the Forth, the large notice advertises:
"FABULOUS WEDDINGS
Stunning Wedding Suite
Views of the Forth and Famous Bridges

Seen through an arch on the approach to the Forth Road Bridge from the B981. The houses of North Queensferry in the foreground.
Access steps to the eastern footway/cycleway on the Forth Road Bridge
