A Lego replica of the Forth Road Bridge, made from around 100,000 bricks, is to go on display in Edinburgh.

The 26ft (8m) long display features two working replica train tracks and was created by a team of four dedicated builders from the Lego UK railways group.

It first went on display in Manchester in 2024, but this is the first time it will visit Scotland.

The Lego bridge will be displayed at the annual Edinbrick charity model show on 10 and 11 May.

Lead organiser of Edinbrick, Doug Adamson, said he was “delighted” the replica of would be on display at the event.

He said: “When we heard that LUKR were looking to return to Edinbrick after last year we knew we would need more space for displays.

“What could be more fitting than seeing the biggest Lego Forth Bridge ever built in the city that you can see the real bridge from?”

The original Forth Bridge is a Unesco World Heritage site.

Built in the 1880’s, it transports trains on the Aberdeen to Edinburgh route across the Firth of Forth.
