When the Queensferry Crossing was chosen as the name for the new bridge over the Forth, it paid tribute to the communities on either side of the waterway.
South and North Queensferry have long been known as the terminus points for Scotland's most famous bridges, but the origins of their names are less well understood.
Unsurprisingly they stem from a monarch's travels across the Firth of Forth. However the queen in question perhaps isn't the one you'd expect.
Saint Margaret of Scotland was a revered figure in the 11th Century, who left a lasting impact on the area despite apparently arriving by accident.
The Pearl of Scotland
Saint Margaret was an English princess who was born in Hungary in 1045. Her family had fled to Europe following the Norman conquest.
Her brother Edgar was keen to regain the English throne. It seems the royal family's ship was blown off course during a sea voyage, ending up in Scotland.
There is an area called St Margaret's Hope in Fife supposedly marking the area where she landed, but this isn't where the "Queensferry" name comes from.
She was a very pious Roman Catholic and was devoted to religious life. Some sources suggest she was not interested in a royal marriage, but she was wed to Malcolm III of Scotland in order to strengthen Edgar's political position.
Margaret sought to emulate Christ by carrying out many charitable works, washing the feet of poor people and orphans every day.
She became known as the "Pearl of Scotland" and was canonised in 1250. Margaret had eight children, three of which would go on to become kings of Scotland.
But it seems unlikely she would have expected to become a Scottish queen during her early life in Hungary.
The queen's ferry
Margaret's religious nature was a strong theme throughout her life.
In Dunfermline, there was a small cave where she had a private shrine to pray in. This secret cave still exists but is now next to a car park.
The oldest building in Edinburgh, St Margaret's Chapel, sits within the walls of Edinburgh Castle.
The "queen's ferry" which would prove her most lasting legacy was a free crossing over the Forth designed to help pilgrims reach St Andrews.
Boats would continue to take people over this route until 1964, when the Forth Road Bridge opened.
These days South Queensferry is a popular destination for seaside trips, and visitors will be able to get a new perspective on it when the Forth Bridge Experience opens.
This will let people "walk in the sky" by climbing to the top of the Forth Bridge.
