Scope and Content Town Pier, North Queensferry, Fife This was one of two large ferry piers forming the northern terminals of the Queen's Ferry across the Forth, important from early medieval times or earlier until supplanted by a road bridge to the west in 1964. This pier was designed by John Rennie. This view shows the pier from the north, with the footpath in the centre, and the former vehicle ramp, seaweed-grown, to the left. The poles supported lamps for ferry traffic during the hours of darkness. This pier came back into use in the mid-1990s, when an aquarium was opened in a former quarry at North Queensferry, served in the summer by a ferry from South Queensferry.
