Western Harbour, Edinburgh

A large area of land to the east of the western breakwater has since been reclaimed through landfill, on the opposite side of the water to Ocean Terminal.

However, interest in further development suddenly halted, largely as a result of the Global Financial Crisis and later the decision to cancel the Edinburgh Trams project to Leith and Newhaven.

Interest in Western Harbour has picked up again with the decision to complete the light rail link to Newhaven, which has since opened to passengers in June 2023.
