Granton Middle Pier

Lamp Post

Four Lamp Posts

Four of the old lamp posts on Granton Middle Pier have survived.  The one above is in the best condition.  It is on the eastern side of the pier.  There are two lamp posts on each side of the Pier.  All are close to the Coastguard's Office and the Clubhouse of the Royal Forth Yacht Club.

1842

The date on the lamp post is 1842.  This is the year that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert arrived at Middle Pier, four years after it was opened.  Please click here to read when Granton Harbour was built.

2007

The photos above were taken in 2004.  Please click on the thumbnail image below to see a photograph of one of the lamp posts, taken three years later.
