In 2011, the deviser travelled to Kenya with other members of Queensferry Parish Church (including a number of current and former dancers), to visit its partner church in Chogoria. The pattern of the dance represents a journey, meeting new people (and their return visit), and the building of a "bridge" and circle of friendship between the two communities. The title Queensferry Crossing seemed appropriate to highlight the connection between dancers in South Queensferry and Dunfermline.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
