North Queensferry is a historic coastal village in Fife, Scotland, situated on the Firth of Forth, 9 mi (14 km) from Edinburgh city centre. Located on the North Queensferry Peninsula, it is the southernmost settlement in Fife.
The town derives its name from the ferry service established by Queen Margaret in the 11th century; the prefix North serves to distinguish it from South Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth. The Forth Rail Bridge (1890), the Forth Road Bridge (1964) and the Queensferry Crossing (2017) all meet the Fife coast at North Queensferry.
Today, the village is a tourist destination, home to 43 listed buildings by Historic Scotland. The village has a population of 1,076 (2011),[2] with a significant share working in nearby Edinburgh.[3] Notable present and former residents include Prime Minister Gordon Brown and author Ian Banks.
North Queensferry lies on Fife Pilgrim Way and Fife Coastal Path, one of Scotland's Great Trails.
