Albert Hotel, North Queensferry

The Albert Hotel is described as "one of only two remaining hostelries (the other is the Ferrybridge Hotel in this small village where there were once thirteen such establishments catering to the vital ferry trade. It is still in use as a hotel and pub and also contains private accommodation."
Originally known as Mitchell's Inn after its owner Robert Mitchell, this building was erected on the site of Hope Tavern which traded in the mid 18th century. This coaching house changed its name to Albert Hotel in honour of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's arrival at the Town Pier, North Queensferry in 1842.
