This is looking west from Ocean Drive in Leith with Stevedore Place flats on the right and the Constitution Place flats on the left. The Port of Leith tramstop will be located in the middle distance with an island platform. Also visible in this photo are the former Leith Dock Commission offices (the stone building on the left in front of the furthest block of flats) at Tower Place, the mv Fingal ship (a former Northern Lighthouse Board lighthouse tender and now a floating hotel) and Ocean Point office block just beyond the ship. The tram line will pass to the left of the mv Fingal and then crosses the Water of Leith as the river enters the modern port. (Photograph by Roy Calderwood, 10th March 2021)
