Scope and Content Cockenzie Harbour, East Lothian This harbour is famous as the seaward end of the Tranent & Cockenzie Wagonway, Scotland's first railway (1721). The harbour took its present form in 1835, to designs by Robert Stevenson & Sons. This view shows the east pier, on an L-plan, which is all 1835 work, and beyond it the west breakwater, partly built of vertically-placed masonry, and partly of mass concrete which may incorporate pre-1835 work. The harbour was rebuilt in1835 for coal shipment, but is now used mainly by pleasure craft and small inshore fishing boats. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
