OS (GIS) AIB, May 2006.
Situated in line with the harbour entrance, and within the tidal (unlocked) part of the harbour, this pier was apparently the N terminal of the train ferry service across the Firth of Forth to Granton. The slipway on the SE side of the pier possibly supported Bouch's patent marine railway, for unloading wagons and carriages.
