South Queensferry gives you panoramic views of the bridges, a meeting point for bikers and a pleasant stroll through the High Street. Worth looking round the little lanes, small harbour, etc.

How many stars do you give a museum that's been closed the three times you visited, despite coming the hours that were listed here?

The first time, I came during the hour or so it was closed in the afternoon (even though Google said it was open), so I updated the hours on Google. There was a sign out front that there was a wedding ceremony going on, so I didn't rattle the door or anything. I returned a couple hours later (after taking the train across the bridge and the bus back on the other bridge -- recommended!), and the celebrants and a photographer were outside, just getting ready to go for the wedding, so it should've been open before.

I finally came back a week later, on my way to the airport, and it was still closed. I asked some folks hanging out on the steps who seemed to be local, and they weren't sure when it was open.

I wish I'd just booked a sightseeing cruise, rather than coming by three times trying for the quirky local museum. It's a pleasant little town, for sure, but don't count on the museum.

A small but interesting museum in Queensferry. Certainly worth a visit.
It's also nice to see that in such a small museum they even managed to create a kids corner.

A very lovely little museum which is a hidden treasure and well worth a visit. It is set out beautifully and all very local and interesting. There were lovely touches everywhere, for example there was a book of all the men that were local, about their lives before the war and during the war, they all died in the war. You picked out a packet of poppy seeds from a basket, each with a different name on the front, looked up the name that you had and read about the person, took the seeds home with you and planted them in remembrance for the person. Was such a lovely idea that I hadn't seen before and was a really nice, personal touch.

Check opening times before you visit. It is 4 rooms managed by one person so they close for lunch and are only open certain days etc. There is no entry fee, so runs on donations. We easily spent a couple of hours there.

It's hard to pick a favourite part but there is a really powerful telescope which is set up in a beautiful bay window with a stunning view. You can get a real close up of all three bridges, read the number plates of the cars, the sign posts, and see individual people. You can zoom in on the boats and the houses on the other side of the river. You can see door numbers, people walking their dogs and going about their business, when you can only see the houses in the distance with the naked eye. You can see the trains crossing the bridges, sea birds, the architecture of the bridges in such detail, more than I could have imagined.

Sometimes the best things come in small packages and I believe that this is the case here :)

Been in here felt like I was walking into a council office but after walking up the stairs you get to see exhibits from the past and various royal navy exhibits and what south queensferry dis in the first and second world war and it's was free to enter but it is quite a small museum and doesn't take long to walk around

THIS MUSEUM IS NOT OPEN ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY!

I have travelled from Sweden for a few days in Edinburgh and wanted to visit the Queensferry museum today (Saturday 7th March).

I checked the opening times on both the website and Google maps and made my way to the museum.

We tried the door repeatedly but it was locked. We checked the times on the board outside. It was supposed to be open. We phoned the number on the board outside. The automated message says that this number is not in use. We asked the lady in the shop opposite. She says the museum is closed on Saturdays.

It is also closed from 1.15-2.15 for lunch, which is not clear from the online listings. The phone number on the board outside is also wrong!
