Queensferry, also known as South Queensferry, is a historic town located on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, west of Edinburgh. The town derives its name from Queen Margaret of Scotland, who established a ferry service for pilgrims traveling to St Andrews and Dunfermline Abbey in the 11th century.
The town is renowned for its three distinctive bridges spanning the Forth: the iconic Forth Bridge (1890), the Forth Road Bridge (1964), and the Queensferry Crossing (2017). Throughout its history, Queensferry has been an important port and trading center, with a rich maritime heritage reflected in its architecture and local traditions. The town maintains several historic buildings, including the 17th-century Tolbooth and the Priory Church.
One of its unique cultural traditions is the annual Burry Man ceremony, part of the Ferry Fair Festival, where a local man parades through the town covered in burrs, continuing a custom that dates back several centuries.
