Edinburgh Forthside Masterplan Leith Western Harbour |
|
Developments Leith Western Harbour is part of Edinburgh Forthside. Developments are well underway at Leith Western Harbour, particularly along the western edge, extending into the Firth of Forth from Newhaven Harbour. The photograph below shows the developments as seen (with a telephoto lens) from Edinburgh Castle, about 3 miles away. View from Edinburgh Castle The centrepiece of the development is to be Western Harbour Park, similar in size to Princes Street Gardens. It will include formal and informal gardens and a bus station. Close to Platinum Point and to the large developments, currently being built, there is to be a breakwater walk, giving a view up the Firth of Forth to the Forth Bridges. Here is a view of the western harbour developments under construction, taken with a telephoto lens from Edinburgh Castle, about three miles to the south. |
