Tour Scotland Travel Video Autumn North Queensferry Fife

Tour Scotland travel video of an Autumn morning visit by North Queensferry, Fife, Scotland. North Queensferry is a village situated on the coast of the Firth of Forth where the Forth Bridge the Forth Road Bridge, and the Queensferry Crossing all meet the at Fife coast, some 10 miles from the centre of Edinburgh. The village takes its name from Saint Margaret of Scotland, the wife of King Malcolm III of Scotland, who is said to have established the village to ensure there would be regular ferry crossings across the Firth of Forth for the benefit of pilgrims travelling to St Andrews. Margaret is said to have made her arrival in Scotland here in 1068, and to have regularly used the ferry crossing when travelling between the then capital Dunfermline, and Edinburgh Castle. From around this time, the crossing became known as the Queen's Ferry. One of North Queensferry's biggest attractions today are the views it offers of the Forth Bridges.
