Granton Harbour, situated in the north of Edinburgh on the Firth of Forth, was constructed in the mid 19th century. In addition to acting as a fishing harbour it also provided an important link to Fife and the north of Scotland. From 1848 to 1890 a rail ferry was in operation carrying trains from Granton to Burntisland on the Fife coast.
