The historic and anicent town of South
Queensferry sits on the south shore at the narrowest part of the Forth Estuary
10 miles (16km) west of Edinburgh. (Scotland's Capital City) The town rests
between the Forth Rail Bridge (built 1890) and the Forth Road Bridge (built
1964).
Besides two world class bridges the town has much more to offer. South
Queensferry offers one of the most interesting collections of buildings you
are likely to find anywhere. Oldest is St Mary's church, which dates from
1441. The oldest house is "Black Castle", built on the High Street in 1626.
