Leith and Granton Redevelopment

 

Leith Harbour

In recent years, major developments have taken place in Leith Docks.  The Scottish Office has moved from its premises in New St Andrew House, close to the top of Leith Walk, to a new office in built in Leith Docks.

'Ocean Terminal' a shopping / restaurant / multi-cinema complex has opened a little further to the west in the docks, beside the former Royal Yacht 'Britannia'.

 

Granton Waterfront

A fifteen-year plan has been agreed to redevelop the area along the coast from Granton Harbour to the west, currently used by many small businesses, and by Scottish Gas. 

A prominent feature of this area was Granton Gas Works' three large gasometers.  Now only two remain.  Soon they will be reduced to one.

In order to support all these developments in the North of Edinburgh it is proposed to  construct a new tramway.
