Ferry Fair 2021 Queen Grace Higgins was crowned last Saturday in a private ceremony at Dalmeny Estate before taking a ‘Tour of the Burgh’, a week after the 2020 Queen was crowned. While, the Burryman’s Day celebration took place last Friday.

Andrew Taylor was hidden under hundreds of seedheads from burdock plants that grow locally for the Burryman's Day celebration through South Queensferry.
