(Listed under South Queensferry, West Lothian; Ferry Landings: location cited as NT 1378, NT 1478). The jetty that flanks the E pier of the harbour (NT17NW 71.00) is about 345ft [105m] by 20ft [6.1m] wide. It is paved with setts, larger in the seaward than the landward part; its outer edge is bordered with slabs keyed together with diamond-shaped insertions of cement, and the lip is cut out to receive a wooden runner. Mooring-rings are set in large slabs. The masonry of the outer face is of coursed rubble, but the blocks are rougher than those of the other Passage jetties and the work consequently may date, in part at any rate, from before the reorganisation effected about 1812.
