North Queensferry has 1000 years of rich heritage and history, stretching from before the time of Queen Margaret in the 11th Century. Visitors will find lots to experience: from the unique views from the old Piers and Light Tower of our 3 famous bridges; short walks through the cobbled streets of our conservation village; or longer walks along the Fife Coastal Path from the start of the Fife Pilgrim Way.
