North Queensferry has 1000 years of rich heritage and history, stretching from before the time of Queen Margaret in the 11th Century. Visitors will find lots to experience: from the unique views of the 3 famous bridges from the old Piers; our unique working Light Tower; short walks through the cobbled streets of our conservation village; or longer walks along the Fife Coastal Path from the start of the Fife Pilgrim Way on the Old Town Pier.

Doors Open DAYS – 2025
This year’s Doors Open Day Event was a real success. The main reason was because we had a number of new volunteers that made the work across our 3 venues so much easier. Rather important when there was, at the same time, a major annual event from Barnardos Chioldrens Charity and Network Rail called Your View. This turned out to be a good effect on our Doors Open Day, numbers.
The numbers were great: over 200 at the Station or Forth Bridges Heritage Centre; over 400 at our ever popular Light Tower on the Old Pier. Unfortunately, our luck with volunteers did not allow for someone looking after St James Chapel.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help, and to all who visited.
