South Queensferry
Formerly in the county of West Lothian, South Queensferry lies on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, 10 miles
west of Edinburgh. It has been an important crossing at least since 1071 when Malcolm III granted free passage at
the 'Queens Ferry' for pilgrims on their way to St Andrews. A ferry service operated until 1964, the year the Forth Road Bridge
was opened. It was built in 1958 and finished in 1964.
This highway suspension bridge is just half a mile away from the Forth Railway Bridge which is the second longest cantilever span in the world. Even today, no other bridge can match it for awesome scale and it was built in 1890!
This is the final destination of the Trek and what more perfect way to end than to be surrounded by two of the most spectacular bridges in the Britain. Here you can meet up with the rest of the group and grab a bite to eat before all going our separate ways.
