The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge built in the late 1800s. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this iconic Scottish landmark stretches 2,467 meters across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland.

This rivet, a rod of metal used to splice together sheets of wrought iron or steel through pre-drilled holes, is one of around 6.5 million total used in the construction of the bridge.
