Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or simply "The Ferry", is a town to the west of Edinburgh, Scotland, traditionally a royal burgh of West Lothian. It lies some ten miles to the north-west of Edinburgh city centre, on the shore of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge. The prefix South serves to distinguish it from North Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth. Both towns derive their name from the ferry service established by Queen Margaret in the 11th century, which continued to operate at the town until 1964, when the Road Bridge was opened.
Its population at the 2011 census was 9,026 based on the 2010 definition of the locality.
Toponymy
The Gaelic name Taobh a Deas Chas Chaolais means "[the] Southern Side of [the] Steep Strait". The name "Cas Chaolas" (Steep Strait) is older than the English name; it can be applied to either North or South Queensferry, or both. The queen referred to is Saint Margaret of Scotland who is believed to have established a ferry at this point for pilgrims on their way north to St Andrews. She died in 1093 and made her final journey by ferry to Dunfermline Abbey. Her son, David I of Scotland, awarded the ferry rights to the abbey.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, I arrived in the South Queensferry Cruise Terminal and we did a tender port to the South Queensferry Bridge where I hung out with two friends. We walked around aimlessly and explored the area.
We grabbed a hotdog for lunch and then walked in to the local south queensferry pub to grab a local beer, a Guinness, and a glass of water ;).
We left the pub and walked down to the shoreline to find a dead jellyfish. Pretty cool.
Before we knew it, the time had come to find our way back to the ship.
Our time to play is usually quite short-lived...but totally worth it. Very happy to have experienced this part of the world for only a couple hours.

These days South Queensferry is a Quiet seaside town, full of colours, beautiful small shops, restaurants and small hidden gardens that you can explore during wandering around the High street. It is also a popular destination for bird watchers, seal photographers or engineering geeks. Actually, South Queensferry has a lot to offer for everyone. Definitely add this place to your travel list.
The Forth Rail Bridge is the oldest steel-constructed cantilever railway bridge in the world. The bridge was designed by Benjamin Baker. It has been opened in march 1890 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site This incredible masterpiece of engineering is hiding a little secret. It is a subsea crossing tunnel under the bridge as a passageway for miners. These days any evidence of tunnel entrance is no longer visible, but you can trace it on many historic maps or photographs.
John Muir way
On your way to Dalmeny estate and house, you are walking the famous John Muir way or at least just it's wee small part. John Muir way is a 134 miles adventure connecting the west and east coast of Scotland.
Dalmeny Estate
Dalmeny House & Estate is a gothic revival mansion and has been home to the Earls of Rosebery since 1662. Dalmeny House was completed in 1817 and sits in rolling parkland to the West of Edinburgh. The house is home to The 7th Earl of Rosebery with spectacular views overlooking the Firth of Forth. The house stands in a large wooded park and enjoys views across the Firth of Forth. I find this estate an ideal place to escape from the city. And one fact that nobody is talking about is that Micheline Roquebrune - wife of actor Sean Connery arrived with other family members at this estate to scatter pieces of his ashes here, as it has been one of his favourite places.
