The Forth Bridge has been voted Scotland's greatest man-made wonder.

In a VisitScotland poll of 2000 people across the UK, the bridge saw off competition from the likes of Edinburgh Castle, The Kelpies and the Glenfinnan Viaduct to win the title.

The Forth Bridge received 30% of votes, followed by Edinburgh Castle on 13%.

Other structures recognised were Stirling Castle, the Falkirk Wheel, the Caledonian Canal, the Scott Monument, Bell Rock Lighthouse and Melrose Abbey.

It is the latest title awarded to the bridge over the years, the most significant of which was its designation as a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2015.

The VisitScotland survey also found that almost 60% of people across the UK have made an "architectural pilgrimage" - travelling just to see a famous building or landmark.

A similar number said that a destination's architecture and design plays an important role when deciding where to go on a short break.

Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, said: "It is no surprise that our awe-inspiring Forth Bridge has taken the top spot in this research, and it is wonderful to see that new man-made wonders like The Kelpies are already proving a hit with visitors.

"2016 has shone a significant spotlight on Scotland's achievements in innovation, architecture and design through a wide-range of activity designed to boost tourism in Scotland.

"I hope many people continue to make architectural pilgrimages to Scotland throughout the rest of this year and beyond to discover some of our truly remarkable sights."

Edinburgh's culture convener, councillor Richard Lewis, said: "The capital boasts an incredible mix of architecture and built heritage and it no surprise that three of the nation's favourite man-made wonders have been built on Edinburgh soil.

"The Scott Monument is an iconic memorial right in the heart of the city and I am delighted the 170 year-old structure has made it into VisitScotland's list of national favourites.

"Many people don't realise the Monument has a Museum inside it and that you can climb right to the top. Look out across the city and you can see Edinburgh's other 'wonders' Edinburgh Castle and even the Forth Rail Bridge on a clear day."
