Ocean Terminal Leith

what a differance coloured photos make, those ships look as if they had just come off the stocks,all nicely fresh painted.

Yes well Ocean Terminal is the old Henry Robb shipbuilding yard many a ship launched from there.

Is Ocean Terminal where all those cruise ships come in and berth,I remember coming into Leith,and the wife and I got lost,we were going to his/her majestys theatre,and drove straight by the road we were supposed to take,and ended up at some sort of terminal,with a huge ship lying next to it.

Nice one of the Severn too bad about the old rustbucket in background!!!!!

Hi Gary
I suspect you would have gone past the Ocean Terminal [large building in photo], however depending on whether you were coming from the east or western ends of the docks,... From the western end you may have seen
A cruise Liner, or special purpose ship at a smallish building, or older wooden one by the flour mill [HM Customs]- The other small building is now the Cruise Liner terminal [close to Ocean Terminal]. From this side, the Ocean terminal will be on your left. Going to the King's theatre would be a matter of going to the next exit at Constitution St and then up Leith Walk into Edinburgh. Coming from the Eastern end [Constitition St] the Ocean Terminal and other buildings are on your right. It's only a short journey up to Leith Walk/Edinburgh from there. Hope this helps.

Nice shot. I was up there a few weeks ago to have look round Dougs so called rust bucket. I really enjoyed looking round her.
