Answer
South Queensferry and North Queensferry are towns in Scotland named after Margaret's ferry. In the 11th century, Queen Margaret of Scotland established a ferry service across the Firth of Forth at this location. Over time, settlements grew up on both sides of the river, and they became known as South Queensferry and North Queensferry. The towns remain important transportation hubs today, with the Queensferry Crossing, a major bridge, connecting them.
