NT 12987 78500 A historic building record was carried out on
30 June 2022, prior to planned repair works at Queensferry Harbour (Canmore ID: 50615).
Queensferry Harbour in its current form is a fine example of early 19th-century civic engineering. It originally served as a commercial and fishing p ort, as well as a resupply point for the Royal Navy, and has lately been used as a base for the mooring of private boats. The harbour in its current layout is little different f rom t he o ne completed in the early 19th century and, whilst the main structure of the harbour’s piers remains relatively unchanged, alterations have clearly taken place including the improvement of the surfaces and parapets.
