About Granton
Granton
is an area in the North of Edinburgh,
Scotland. Granton forms part of
Edinburgh's waterfront along the Firth
of Forth having a large harbour.
Granton Harbour was begun in 1836 by the
5th Duke of Buccleuch on part of his
estate of Caroline Park, of which only
the house and a small area of grounds
remains today. Lighthouse engineer
Robert Stevenson oversaw construction,
which was completed in 1863, although
part of the harbour was open by 1838.
The harbour had a large fishing fleet.
In 1850, the world's first ferry-train
began operating between Granton and
Burntisland,
Fife.
The paddle-steamer Leviathan
carried the trains, which formed the
main link across the Forth until
completion of the Forth Rail Bridge in 1890.
Passenger and car ferry services
continued into the 1960s.
