Port Edgar is now a marina at South Queensferry in

Central Scotland. The present Port Edgar site has a long history associated with the the waters of the Forth Estuary. In the late 9th century Dunfermline had become a place of pilgrimage, such that Queen Margaret the wife of Malcolm III paid for a ferry to be operated across the Tay by monks from Dunfermline. The monks landed at various points along the southern bank of the Tay depending upon tide and weather.
The Royal Navy used the pier at Port Edgar regularly from the 1850's until they purchased the site in 1916 and continued to use the port until the mid 1970's. File 9816
