More about Granton Edinburgh Scotland
Granton is an area in the north of Edinburgh,
Scotland. Granton forms part of Edinburgh's waterfront
along the Firth of Forth, and is historically an
industrial area, having a large harbour. In the later
part of the 20th century the area became extensively
derelict, leading to moves to redevelop Granton as part
of Edinburgh's large scale waterfront regeneration
programme.
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 Bridge in 1890. Passenger and car ferry
services continued into the 1960s.
Granton Gasworks were formerly one of Edinburgh
waterfront's most prominent landmarks, comprising three
blue gasometers which were clearly visible from Fife.
Two of the structures, built in the 1930s and 1970s,
have now been demolished. The third structure remains,
and is listed as an example of Victorian industrial
architecture. The gasworks site is spread over 110
acres, and is to be redeveloped as the ForthQuarter, a
mixed use development of housing, offices, local
services, a park, and a new campus for Telford College.
The area was masterplanned by Foster and Partners,
although the individual 'plots' will be separately
designed by other architects.
The oldest surviving car factory building in Britain is
located in Granton. The Madelvic Motor Carriage Company
works were built in 1898 for the manufacture of electric
cars. The factory is also listed, and is to be renovated
as housing in the regeneration scheme.
