Fisherrow Harbour

Highlight • Structure

Fisherrow Harbour serves Musselburgh. Fishing has been an industry here since before the roman times but the current harbour dates to the 17th century. The harbour was used in the second world war which reduced the fishing industry. Today there is still fishing but on a much smaller and more leisure-based scale.

The Innocent Railway

Highlight • Historical Site

Near the foot of Arthur’s seat runs a good pathway that is two and a half miles long, or about four kilometres. In bygone ages, it was a railway line to bring coal to Edinburgh from mines located in the south of Scotland. It closed down in 1963, and part of it was converted to a cycle path in 1981, and is part of the National Cycling Network.
