Hi, I'm Lisa Ferguson. I'm one of the audio-video specialists and I have been lucky enough today
00:05
to come up the Forth Road Bridge. I'm standing on top of it just now and that took us about
00:13
15 minutes from the bottom to get up here. You first of all come in and you then enter
00:18
a tiny little lift, which is probably enough to only fit three people. You then come up
00:25
to the 10th floor and then you then proceed to climb up a very small ladder. Then once
00:32
you get to the top, you are faced with these amazing views of South Queensferry, North
00:39
Queensferry. You can see over to Arthur's Seat. You can see all the bridges down into
00:45
the pier and it's just an amazing experience. We're lucky enough to be up here today on
00:51
an alright day. The last time I was up here was when the cars were still allowed to cross,
00:56
so it's a completely different experience this time. The whole reason I am up here today
01:02
is purely because the Scotsman are running a competition to celebrate the bridge turning
01:09
60 years old. To be in with a chance of winning this competition, all you have to be is a
01:14
Scotsman subscriber and answer this simple question. What is the distance in metres of
01:19
the span between the Forth Road Bridge's two main towers?
