South Queensferry
Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or merely "The Ferry", is a community to the west of Edinburgh, Scotland, generally a royal burgh of West Lothian. It exists 10 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 differentiate it from North Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth. Both communities obtain their name from the ferry solution developed 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 area which in addition to the burgh consists of Dalmeny.
