Discovering South Queensferry - Scotland

South Queensferry or simply "The Ferry", is a town to the west of Edinburgh, Scotland. Traditionally a royal burgh of West Lothian. It lies ten miles to the north-west of Edinburgh city centre, on the shore of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing. 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. The Forth (Railway) Bridge is a stunning cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth. Completed in 1890, it is considered as a symbol of Scotland (having been voted Scotland's greatest man-made wonder in 2016), and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was designed by the English engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker. Black Castle which features is a house on the High Street built in 1626. When the original owner, a sea-captain, was lost at sea, his maid was accused of paying a beggar-woman to cast a spell. Both women were burned for witchcraft. The Tolbooth, on the High Street, dates from the 17th century, with a clock-tower built in 1720. Another interesting fact about this place is where the famous 'Loony Dook' takes place where people from all over the world come to swim and walk into the freezing Forth waters on New Years Day to rid themselves of hangovers or start fresh and invigorated for the year ahead. It is now a huge charity event and money is collected for the RNLI lifeboats in Queesferry saving hundreds of lives each year. If you would like to help me out you can maybe buy me a coffee.
