About Scotts Bar & Restaurant

Scotts Bar & Restaurant sits at Port Edgar Marina in South Queensferry, positioned between the two bridges with views across the Firth of Forth and all three bridges. The menu draws on classic British and international dishes, with steaks including a 225g sirloin, a 200g fillet, and a 450g chateaubriand to share. Fish and chips, including a Premium Peterhead option, is a recurring order, alongside a burger and a specials menu that runs beside the regular one. Cocktails, including margaritas, are served from the bar. The interior mixes industrial finishes with plants throughout, and seating spans window booths and tables in the main dining area. Brunch and dinner are both served, with the restaurant open daily and reservations required. A discretionary service charge is added to the bill.

Customer Review Summary

Fish and chips draws the most praise, with several reviewers calling it the best they had in Scotland and one specifically enjoying the Premium Fish & Chips alongside a Hawkstone Lager. Close behind, the view of the three bridges and the Firth of Forth comes up again and again as the setting's main draw, paired with cocktails like the Margaritas one diner rated highly. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and helpful, though a few visits note stressed service and one long wait. A recurring trade-off appears around seating and consistency: one reviewer's haddock and chips arrived with thick batter and mushy peas despite a "premium" billing, and they were seated by the kitchen passage while a window booth sat empty all meal. Another found the burger underwhelming despite the setting. Most, though, describe timely, well-priced dishes, with one Valentine's Day diner surprised the bill matched the quality, calling every dish "perfect."

    “Great meal at Scotts in South Queensferry. I had the Premium Fish & Chips with a Hawkstone Lager and both were excellent. …”
  • Joey B
    “Visited here for brunch recently with my husband. The venue is beautiful with stunning views of The Forth and the three bridges. The staff were all very pleasant, friendly and efficient. …”
  • Tammie Kee
    “We had a wonderful experience at Scott’s. The views and ambiance provide a perfect backdrop for the exceptional food. The fish and chips were the best I had during my visit to Scotland. I would have loved to comeback to try the steaks.”
  • Pok Chau
    “Always love going to south queensferry for food over the impressive view of Firth of Forth. A 2-course lunch, it was a good super-crispy battered fish, with calamari for starter and a salad on side. The lassie serving the area was lovely and friendly.”
  • Siegfried F.
    “The restaurant offers a wonderful view of the bridges and has a great interior. The staff seemed a bit stressed during our visit, and the food we ordered—especially the burger—did not live up to our expectations. We are giving it 3 stars.”
