"The Bridge has become one of Scotland’s most photographed features and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From dawn until dusk, the views from the top are always different so your view will always be unique."
Running on September 23, 24 and 25, all the money raised from Your View will go towards funding Barnardo’s vital work to support vulnerable children in Scotland.
There are three events on offer, the 'classic', which is priced at £70 for 90 minutes, and Sunset (6.30 pm) or Sunrise (6.15 am) which are priced at £80 for 105 minutes.

Tickets – which can be purchased here – are limited to 4 per person You must be 18 years or over to take part in the event.
The Barnardo's team added: "Weather will dictate if we can safely ascend to the top of the bridge. If we are unable to ascend at your booked time, we will offer you an alternative time or provide a full refund."
