Europa

Western Harbour

The ship here is berthed at the cruise liner terminal at the SE corner of Leith Western Harbour.  In the background on this photo are:

-   LEFT:   Chancelot Flour Mill

-  RIGHT:  New apartments, named 'Western Harbour' and 'The Element' being built on the Western Breakwater of the harbour.  The first apartments to be built beside the breakwater (here, hidden behind the cruise liner) was named 'Platinum Point'.

In front of the new apartments, a spit of land can be seen.  This land has been created within the harbour as the first stage of reclaiming land from the harbour in front of the new apartments.
