Dance Information

The title of this dance, The Queensferry Crossing, highlights the connection between dancers in South Queensferry and Dunfermline.

The Queensferry Crossing (formerly the Forth Replacement Crossing) is a road bridge in Scotland. It was built alongside the existing Forth Road Bridge and carries the M90 motorway across the Firth of Forth between Edinburgh, at South Queensferry, and Fife, at North Queensferry.
