Queensferry, additionally called South Queensferry or merely "The Ferry", is a community to the west of Edinburgh, Scotland, traditionally an imperial burgh of West Lothian. It exists ten miles to the north-west of Edinburgh city centre, on the coast of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge as well as the Queensferry Crossing. The prefix South serves to identify it from North Queensferry, on the contrary shore of the Forth. Both communities derive their name from the ferry service established by Queen Margaret in the 11th century, which continued to operate at the community up until 1964, when the Road Bridge was opened. Its population at the 2011 census was 9,026 based upon the 2010 meaning of the region which along with the burgh includes Dalmeny.
