The Lighthouse

8pm shot of the Lighthouse down at Newhaven, and I think I am getting use to this summer. It is great to see people sitting outside and eating alfresco on what is a beautiful evening following a gorgeous day.

The lighthouse was built at the harbour entrance in 1869. The harbour has now been dwarfed by the enlarged Leith Harbour. The once thriving Victorian fishmarket is now converted into a smaller still functioning fishmarket, and the Loch Fyne restaurant. The Newhaven Heritage Museum which used to occupy a small section of the old fishmarket closed in 2007. It has since been converted into to a retail fishmonger, linked to the adjacent fishmarket. Some of its exhibits have been kept by the Victoria Primary School

Looking forward to the weekend too.
