The oldest inhabited house in the village, at one time the Black Cat Inn, is in Main Street opposite the late [[Georgian era|Georgian]] Albert Hotel. In the early 20th century a tunnel was found beneath the floorboards leading towards the sea. The oldest building in the village is the nearby early 14th century Chapel of [[James the Great|St James]] ("the Greater" – patron saint of pilgrims) founded by [[Robert the Bruce]] around 1320–23, abandoned after the [[Reformation]] and believed to have been destroyed by [[Roundhead|Parliamentarian]] troops in 1651. Very little remains standing. The graveyard walls carry an inscription: THIS IS DONE BY THE SAILERS IN NORTH FERRIE 1752.

Houses in Main Street and Post Office Lane are dated 1693 and 1776; Brae House and White House, also in Main Street, are dated 1771 and 1778 and have a [[sundial]] at first floor level.<ref>

The [[Battle of Waterloo|Waterloo]] Memorial in Main Street is a bell-shaped stone gable carved with an anchored ship and dated 1816. It stands in front of the Waterloo Well with its Victorian iron pump and was a watering stop for horses.<ref>North Queensferry Heritage Trust, The Village of North Queensferry (tourist leaflet),2004</ref> There are other wells at the side of Main Street by West Sands and on The Brae. Also on The Brae are pantiled cottages with forestairs, and the Old Schoolhouse, built in 1827. At the station, a large mosaic mural completed in 1990 by local people including children from the nearby primary school marks the centenary of the opening of the rail bridge.
