I don’t think there is any public access to the bridge apart from the railway crossing of the Firth of Forth.

As far as I can remember there is places to park in south Queensferry but not sure if if it’s for overnight. north Queensferry is a very steep incline narrow enough try Google Street veiw it might give you an idea. Happy travels...

Hi there, In my opinion the best place is to photograph the Forth Bridge would be near the Harbour Light Tower. On a not windy day, you may actually could go a bit far to get a wider angle of the bridge.

Hello Martin. You need to get a train from either Waverley or Haymarket station (both are in Edinburgh) with the direction Dundee or Glenrothes. The latter option may be flagged as a 'Fife Circle' train. Just be careful to double-check the departure information board to verify that the train you pick stops at North Queensferry or Dalmeny. Some express trains to Dundee won't. It's personal choice which of these two stations you get off at. Dalmeny station involves a slightly longer walk but there are more cafes, restaurants and shops there. North Queensferry is much quieter but has a nice lunch spot (the Wee Restaurant) and Deep Sea World if you want to make a day of it. Whatever you decide, the journey time will be no more than 20 minutes. Enjoy!
