As Granton Road approaches Granton, it bends to the left before descending to Granton Square. At this point the Wardie Steps path provides a shortcut for pedestrians to Lower Granton Road. | |
 |
Further down the path showing the view to Granton Harbour behind the Eastern Breakwater. Fife is across the Firth of Forth. | |

Looking over the wall beside Wardie Steps at Wardie Square. | |
 |
Granton View is the street overlooking and running parallel to Granton Road near the harbour. Appropriately named, it provides views over the Firth of Forth. | |
 |
This view is directly east from Granton View to Lower Granton Road where a 16 bus is heading towards Leith. The new multi-storey flats at Western Harbour dominate the shoreline. | |
 |
A gap in the trees provides this look at part of Granton Harbour and some new flats overlooking it, as well as nordic outdoor's premises which cater to adventurers and survivalists. | |
 |
The next few pictures illustrate some serious recycling at West Granton Road. | |
 |
Beyond the barbed wire skips tower overhead. Behind is a mound of mangled metal. | |
 |
The same metal mound from a few paces west. If it's ferrous then it's likely in this pile somewhere. | |
 |
A closer look shows a tangle of everything imaginable. Wheels catch the eye as do brighter colours from fresher junk nearer the top. | |
 |
An organisation called Waterfront Edinburgh has stamped (riveted actually) its authority on this notice board. It warns of dire consequences for the foolish intruder. | |
 |
Two slightly different views of this aircraft fuselage. | |
 |
The structure on top of the passenger compartment presumably was supporting the wings - and vice versa when flying. |
