South Queensferry (Edinburgh), Scotland

South Queensferry, located in Edinburgh, Scotland, is a picturesque town known as the gateway to Edinburgh.

From here, visitors have multiple options to explore Edinburgh. You can take an organized shore excursion, catch the X99 bus directly outside the cruise pier, hop on a train from Dalmeny station to Edinburgh Waverly, or opt for a taxi ride. The town offers charming cafes, restaurants, and souvenir shops near the Maid of the Forth port. Explore the history of the village and the impressive Forth Bridges at Queensferry Museum. Take a boat tour to Inchcolm island, visit Dalmeny House and Hopetoun House, or enjoy a coastal walk along the John Muir Way with stunning views of the Forth Bridges. Don't miss the opportunity to visit historical sites like the Forth Bridge and Queensferry Museum, and cruise passengers also have the option to visit the nearby Dalmeny House, Hopetoun House, and take a boat tour under the Forth Bridge and to Inchcolm island.
