Inchgarvie

The small island of Inchgarvie sits in the Firth of Forth, beneath the Forth Rail Bridge.

In the spring of 1879 work started on the island for a proposed bridge over the Forth that was never built. Today you can still see the column of bricks that were built for the bridge.

Cannons were installed on the island when the pirate/adventurer Paul Jones set up a base in the Forth and terrorised shipping. These were never fired.
