A view of South Queensferry, the town where I live. Formerly in the county of West Lothian, South Queensferry lies on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, 10 miles (16 km) 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. South Queensferry was created a burgh of regality in the 13th century and made a Royal Burgh in 1636. It traded actively with Europe in the 17th century. Buildings dating from this period include Laburnum House, the Hawes Inn, the Tolbooth Tower, the Black Castle, the Old Parish Church and Plewlands House. St Mary’s E...

A small section of the crowd at the 2006 annual Loony Dook in South Queensferry, Scotland. The water, as always, was freezing cold (it is a tributary of the North Sea after all). MORE than 3,000 people turned out to watch a record number of people take part in the annual Loony Dook fund raising spectacle in South Queensferry on New Years' Day. Residents and tourists descended on the town's High Street area well in advance of the mid-day dip to ensure they had a good vantage point. And they were not disappointed. More than 400 hardy (if rather mad) souls took to the water, well ahead of the previous peak of 300-plus. Related shots can be found at: South Queensferry. Best viewed LARGER.

This was today's (17 February 09) sunset over South Queensferry, Edinburgh, Scotland. I was on the train coming home from work and I could see this amazing sunset, infact everone on the train was staring out of the window. The way I figured it, sunsets are usually pretty quick, so I expected the light show to be over by the time I reached the station. However, I got lucky and I had a few minutes to take a few shots. This is the result, straight from the camera, no enhancements at all. I did not have my DSLR with me, so this shot was taken with my new point and shoot camera (Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS).

Operating from South Queensferry, Lothian, Scotland in the shadow of the world famous Forth Bridge, the Maid of the Forth offers a unique range of cruises on the Firth of Forth. This unique steel Cantilever Bridge with three diamond-shaped towers crosses the river Forth from South Queensferry to North Queensferry, Scotland. The bridge was designed by Sir John Fowler and Benjamin Baker. The bridge was built by Sir William Arrol. Constructed started in 1883. The bridge was opened in 1890 at a cost of £2.5m and 57 fatalities among the construction crew (it is now believed that the actual death toll is likely to have been closer to 80). The bridge is still in use today, carrying the railways to the north from Edinburgh. Camera: Canon EOS 450.

The bell tower, or belfry on Abercorn Church near South Queensferry, Scotland. A free standing bell tower may be referred to by its Italian name, campanile. Note that in this case, there is only one bell and it is rung from outside the church. Abercorn Parish Church is a remarkable place. But even though a small part of it can be dated back to the 1100s, what you can see today is only part of the story. There are clues to an even longer history in the collection of stones on view in the Abercorn Museum, just inside the churchyard gates. These include Viking hog-back burial stones; a cross stone; and a carved cross-shaft dating back to the 600s. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix Pro. BEST VIEWED LARGER

Low tide in the small Harbour at South Queensferry, Lothian, Scotland leaves the boats high and dry. The south end of the Forth Bridge can be seen in the background.

The two Forth Bridges spanning the river Forth in Scotland. The Rail Bridge is on the right and the Road Bridge on the left.

Looking from the elevated position of the Back Braes over the rooftops of South Queensferry, Scotland. To the locals the town is The Ferry. I have lived here for the last 23 years, so just four more generations and my descendants may be accepted as locals.
