Fisherrow Harbour

Highlight • Structure

Fisherrow Harbour serves Musselburgh. Fishing has been an industry here since before the roman times but the current harbour dates to the 17th century. The harbour was used in the second world war which reduced the fishing industry. Today there is still fishing but on a much smaller and more leisure-based scale.
