Queensferry – Alive with Legends, Attractions and Festivities

Because of the existence of North Queensferry, Queensferry is often referred to as South Queensferry to eliminate confusion. It name is derived from Queen Margaret of Scotland, who was the wife of Malcolm III. The couple married in a church, which was constructed at the Queen’s request, in Dunfermline. After their wedding in 1070, the church became a site of pilgrimage, and the Queen enjoyed revisiting the church. To reach the church meant that one had to cross the river and the Queen quickly established a ferry, run by monks, to transport people. Thus the settlement became known as Queensferry.
