Firth of Forth
Prior to the opening of the Forth Road Bridge in the 1960s, car ferries crossed the Forth estuary, between North and South Queensferry. Latterly, these were operated by Wm. Denny & Bros, of Dumbarton shipbuilding fame. Excursion services were operated, with the Galloway Saloon Steam Packet Co, which eventually became controlled by the North British Railway, the main player.
