Flour mills have been built in Leith Harbour at the extreme left of the picture, and there are now extensive further housing developments in Leith Harbour (off the picture to the left). Please click the image below to zoom-out. Update 2006 Wardie Hotel Wardie Hotel, Lower Granton Road, the building at the extreme right of the large photograph above (and the prominent building in the centre of the picture found by clicking on the thumbnail image above) is now behind scaffolding, being converted from a hotel to eight apartments.
