Guided tours now fully booked apparently but the points of interest will be labelled for anyone walking the bridge. Short 30 minute boat trip under the bridges on the Maid of the Forth on 31 October will be available at a discounted rate from the exhibition offices.

If this link doesn't work, as the one in the OP doesn't now, click on News Stories and it should then work.

Really interesting day and boy were we lucky with the weather. This was our group viewing the cables from under the bridge at the North side.
