The Firth of Forth was not "built" - it was created by a glacier in the last ice age. A firth is the lowland Scots word for an inlet from the sea, much the same as the Scandinavian word 'fjord' - in this case the estuary of the River Forth. I think you probably mean "When was the Forth (Rail) Bridge built?", and the answer to that is between 1883 & 1890. It was joined by a parallel road bridge in 1964. The railway bridge - still a hugely impressive structure - was the engineering wonder of its age, though it was achieved at the cost of many workers' lives. It is seen in a number of old films - most famously in both the 1935 & 1959 versions of "The 39 Steps".
