Queensferry Museum
Nestled in the heart of South Queensferry, the Queensferry Museum offers a captivating glimpse into the town’s rich heritage and its enduring connection to the Firth of Forth. Housed in a historic building on the High Street, the museum showcases the stories of Queensferry and neighbouring Dalmeny, from the ancient ferry crossing to Fife to the engineering marvels of the Forth Bridge and Forth Road Bridge. Visitors can explore exhibits on local traditions, including the enigmatic Burry Man ceremony—an annual ritual whose origins remain a mystery. A full-size model of the Burry Man, clad in burdock burrs, stands as a striking centerpiece. The museum also highlights the region’s natural history, with displays on the wildlife of the estuary. With panoramic views of the iconic bridges and a thoughtfully curated collection, Queensferry Museum is a hidden gem that celebrates the spirit and resilience of this coastal community.
