Old Photographs Forth Railway Bridge South Queensferry Scotland

Old photograph of the River Forth Ferry and the Forth Railway Bridge from South Queensferry, Scotland. The Forth railway Bridge, which is a cantilever railway bridge over the Firth of Forth is located west of central Edinburgh. Construction of the bridge began in 1882 and it was opened on 4 March 1890 by the Duke of Rothesay, the future King Edward VII. The bridge spans the Forth between the villages of South Queensferry near Edinburgh and North Queensferry in Fife. When it opened it had the longest single cantilever bridge span in the world. Prior to the construction of the bridge, ferry boats were used to cross the Firth. It is considered an iconic structure and a symbol of Scotland, having been voted Scotland's greatest man made wonder, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Tour Scotland Christmas Video Forth Bridge Accordion Band South Queensferry



Tour Scotland Christmas video of the Forth Bridge Accordion Band in South Queensferry, Scotland. This band were performing at a Christmas Community Food Market in South Queensferry near Edinburgh. Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or simply " The Ferry ", is a town to the west of Edinburgh, traditionally a royal burgh of West Lothian. It lies some ten miles to the north west of Edinburgh city centre, on the shore of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge. The prefix South serves to distinguish it from North Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth in Fife. 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 Bridge has long been recognised as one of the finest examples of Victorian engineering on the planet and has achieved an iconic status as one of the great feats of western civilisation since its official opening in 1890.

Tour Scotland Video Forth Railway Bridge From North Queensferry Scotland



Tour Scotland travel video of the sight and sounds of wind and waves by the Forth Railway Bridge, on ancestry visit and trip to North Queensferry, Fife. The tide coming on a grey and windy day by the Firth of Forth. This famous Scottish bridge, which spans the Firth of Forth, connects Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh, with Fife, leaving the Lothians at Dalmeny and arriving in Fife at North Queensferry. The Forth Bridge was opened on 4 March 1890, by the then Duke of Rothesay, later to become King Edward VII. North Queensferry railway station opened the same year. North Queensferry, Scottish Gaelic, Taobh a Tuath Chas Chaolais, meaning the Northern Side of the Steep Strait, is a village on the Firth of Forth. 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. The railway station was not in service by the time of the opening of the Forth Bridge in March 1890, it was in use soon after. The station replaced the station at North Queensferry Pier, which had been opened in 1874 to take passengers to and from the ferry across the Forth. North Queensferry's biggest attractions are the extensive views it offers of the Forth Bridge and Forth Road Bridge. The distance from Perth, Perthshire to North Queensferry is 32.5 miles by road. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
