South Queensferry is one of the Firth of Forth’s most characterful corners. Cobbled streets, independent cafés and a rich maritime past meet the shoreline, and The Barracks sits within easy reach of local shops, restaurants and marina life, with open coast and countryside close at hand.
Edinburgh city centre is only a short journey away, and excellent road and rail links place the capital, the airport and beyond within comfortable reach. It is a rare balance, the calm of a coastal community, with the city never far away.
On the doorstep
Port Edgar Marina
Scotland’s premier coastal marina, right alongside with waterside cafés and restaurants, boat trips and sailing, and uninterrupted views of all three bridges.
The old town
Harbour & High Street
The heart of South Queensferry, a cobbled, historic harbour lined with independent shops, bakeries and cafés, with seafaring history at every turn.
The bridges
The Forth Bridges
Three remarkable feats of engineering, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Forth Bridge. The viewpoint is the classic spot to watch the trains cross at sunset.
Dining
By the Water
A dining scene that punches above its size. Orocco Pier leads a cluster of well-loved waterfront spots alongside The Boat House and Thirty Knots. All within a short stroll.
Into the city
Dalmeny Station
Around twenty minutes by train to Edinburgh Waverley, putting the capital, its culture and its connections within easy daily reach.
A grand day out
Hopetoun House
One of Scotland’s finest stately homes, with 400 years of history and sweeping estate grounds on the Firth, just along the coast.
Coastal walks
Dalmeny Estate
The shoreline path through the Rosebery estate offers one of the area’s loveliest walks, winding past beaches and open parkland towards Cramond.
