The Forth Bridge, crossing the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, Scotland will finally be finished being painting in December after more than 100 years.

Yeah, took them long enough to find a paint that lasts more than a year in salt-air.

Ironically, one of these rare villages is called Upper Slaughter.
