Uncovering the Secrets of South Queensferry and Dalmeny House: Things You Never Knew

History of South Queensferry dates back to the 11th century. This beautiful seaside town plays major role in transportation for kings, queens, pilgrims or merchants heading to St.Andrews and kingdom of Fife.By the 14th century the town had become a Royal Burgh.Saint Margaret founder of this town was an English princess who was born in Hungary in 1045. Her family had fled to Europe following the Norman conquest. Margaret sought to emulate Christ by carrying out many charitable works, washing the feet of poor people and orphans every day. She became known as the "Pearl of Scotland”. These days South Queensferry is a Quiet seaside town, full of colours, beautiful small shops, restaurants and small hidden gardens that you can explore during wandering around the High street. It is also a popular destination for bird watchers, seal photographers or engineering geeks. Actually, South Queensferry has a lot to offer for everyone. Definitely add this place to your travel list. The Forth Rail Bridge is the oldest steel-constructed cantilever railway bridge in the world. The bridge was designed by Benjamin Baker. It has been opened in march 1890 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site This incredible masterpiece of engineering is hiding a little secret. It is a subsea crossing tunnel under the bridge as a passageway for miners. These days any evidence of tunnel entrance is no longer visible, but you can trace it on many historic maps or photographs. John Muir way On your way to Dalmeny estate and house, you are walking the famous John Muir way or at least just it's wee small part. John Muir way is a 134 miles adventure connecting the west and east coast of Scotland. Dalmeny Estate Dalmeny House & Estate is a gothic revival mansion and has been home to the Earls of Rosebery since 1662. Dalmeny House was completed in 1817 and sits in rolling parkland to the West of Edinburgh. The house is home to The 7th Earl of Rosebery with spectacular views overlooking the Firth of Forth. The house stands in a large wooded park and enjoys views across the Firth of Forth. I find this estate an ideal place to escape from the city. And one fact that nobody is talking about is that Micheline Roquebrune - wife of actor Sean Connery arrived with other family members at this estate to scatter pieces of his ashes here, as it has been one of his favourite places.
