Situated on the edge of the City of Edinburgh and on the banks
of the Firth of Forth, Queensferry, more popularly known as South
Queensferry, is framed by the historic Forth Bridge and the Forth
Road Bridge. The old town is a conservation area, while the
situation and its proximity to Edinburgh has resulted in
considerable growth with substantial housing schemes, mainly in the
Scotstoun, Echline, Springfield and Station Road areas.
Queensferry & District Community Council represents the
people of Queensferry and Dalmeny. Formed in the summer of 1986,
QDCC is today one of the longest running community councils in the
region and is widely respected across Edinburgh as one of the
strongest and most active in the City.
As part of its remit under the Local Government (Scotland) Acts
1973, 1994 & 2003, and the Race Relations Act 2000, the QDCC
conducts surveys of local opinion on matters of importance to the
local community.
