South Queensferry (Edinburgh) Shore Excursions

Private Shore Trips offers Edinburgh shore trips from the port of South Queensferry, one of three ports for the capital city of Scotland. This port is used by the larger cruise ships because they are too large to go under the famous Forth Railway Bridge. Once anchored you will take a 10 minute tender under the bridge and to the Hawes Pier in South Queensferry. Your private Edinburgh shore trip starts here and although South Queensferry is part of the city of Edinburgh, you have about a 15-20 minute drive to the city center.

Our South Queensferry shore excursion options include Stirling Castle, St. Andrew's, Linlithgow Palace and of course Edinburgh. Contact us today for information or assistance with a large group private South Queensferry tour.
