So called, from 1877, when the railway reached North Queensferry, the pier was used by train passengers who alighted here, took a ferry boat over to Port Edgar and caught another train on the other side. This railway line was soon to be superseded by another, with the building of the Forth Railway Bridge figures 17 & 18 in 1883-90.

Information from ‘Historic North Queensferry and the Peninsula: The Archaeological Implications of Development’ (1999).
