What and Where?
Number 1.
Number 2.
Number 3.
Number 4.
The railway link is a bit hard in No.2 but it is there. You need to know a bit of railway history for No.4

Sorry to disappoint you Brian, but except for the obvious Firth of Forth I am at a loss. At first I thought 1 was London Waterloo because of the glass, but the surroundings seem to be wrong. There are many bridges like no 2 in the world, including the Golden Gate in SF. No idea about 4.

Ok so the answers are:
1.. Waverley Station, Edinburgh.
2.. The Firth of Forth road bridge. Railway connection? I took it from the train as I passed over the rail bridge on the train.
3.. The Firth of Forth Rail bridge, one of the great engineering marvels of the railway age. Built without the use of computers and modern heavy equipment. The covers on the side are for the workmen.
4.. The Tay rail bridge. Scene of a great train disaster in the 1800's when a train went into the river in a storm.
Well done chaps.
