South Queensferry is a historic coastal town in the City of Edinburgh, Scotland, perched on the south bank of the Firth of Forth. It is best known for its dramatic views of the three crossings - the red cantilever Forth Bridge, the neighbouring Forth Road Bridge and the modern Queensferry Crossing - and for a compact High Street of stone houses, cafes and boat trips beneath the bridges.
Long established as a ferry crossing with royal connections, South Queensferry retains a lively community spirit, staging the annual Ferry Fair, and its economy mixes tourism and hospitality with many residents commuting into Edinburgh. Walkers and photographers are also drawn to the foreshore and cliffs around North Queensferry, making it both a popular day‑trip and a peaceful place to live.
