South Queensferry is nestled on the shore in the shadow of the Forth Bridges, in-between the Falkirk and Edinburgh. The Forth Bridge, a railway bridge which was constructed over 125 years ago, is a unesco World Heritage Site and a spectacular display of engineering. The town offers a number of amenities, including several pubs, restaurants, shops and a museum which showcases the history of the town. South Queensferry was once the main point to board ferries over to Fife and is still a port today, although the boats are now destined for the islands of the Forth. The capital city of Edinburgh is 10 miles away and offers a superb array of things to do and see.
