Dry Dock [NAT]
OS (GIS) ep. 4.
Only the East Dock entrance (NT27NE 57.33) can now be seen of the Rennie's Old Docks at Leith. The West and East Old Docks (NT27NE 57.32 and NT27NE 57.41 respectively) were apparently infilled by 1974, when their area is indicated as an open space on the OS 1:1250 map. This area is now occupied by the Victoria Quay building (NT27NE 861) of the Scottish Executive (formerly Scottish Office).
This dry dock is not indicated on either the 1974 edition of the OS 1:1250 map, or on the current edition of the OS (GIS) AIB.
