When I visited the port of Leith in the 1970s, with my camera in hand, it was possible to walk round the entire facility totally unhindered. But now, in these days of heightened security, this is no longer possible. However, good views can still be had from the Ocean Terminal, a modern shopping centre. Like many other retail complexes, it stands on an industrial site, in this case the old shipbuilding yard. But I am looking forward to the day when a shopping centre is demolished to be replaced by a factory or a harbour!
