Pont Neuf
All of the old cities in Europe are in a constant state of restoration and repair of old structures. Restoration of old structures has got to be a huge business over there. This is the Pont Neuf (translates to: the new bridge) which ironically is the oldest bridge in Paris. It is in the process of being cleaned. You can see the dramatic difference between the cleaned bit on the left and the dirty part on the right.

Damn, I thought I'd catch something. All those years of French paid off for you.
Oh yeah, capitalize the Firth of Forth in one of your descriptions.
