This section of the course runs along the Firth of Forth from
Silverknowes
through Newhaven
and Leith Harbour
to Portobello.
The
lighthouse is situated in the 'Edinburgh
Waterfront' district beside the Firth of Forth, an area being developed over a period of 15 years from
2003.
The Northern Lighthouse Board moved out of these premises around 2002.
Now [ Nov 2004] the lighthouse is used by Lighthouse
Studios and the building to its right is used by Hi-Rope Engineering
Services. |
