Edinburgh's ancient Newhaven Harbour is picturesque

#OverseasTravel #BritishTravel #TheMostBeautifulTravelPhotos Edinburgh's historic harbour village Newhaven was once an independent hamlet. The name Newhaven means "new port". It is located between Leith and Granton, about two miles from the city centre. It can be said to be the end of the ocean north of Edinburgh. Newhaven Harbour was commissioned by King James IV in 1594 for the construction of the warship HMS Great Michael, and they were famous for building the largest ship of the time! It now provides services to many local fishing boats and is also where cruise ships dock in Edinburgh. From the breakwater, you can also see the famous Forth Road Bridge in #Scotland. As soon as you get off the bus at Fish Market Square, you'll see the #harbour distinguished from the coastline by its tall white lighthouse. This major #historiclandmark stands on the breakwater, with a pointed and a round retired lighthouse surrounding the small port of Newhaven Harbour. The old Victorian fish market in East Point, this very eye-catching long red building is not only an iconic landmark of Newhaven Harbour, but also a new favorite for tourists to #check-in. It has now been converted into a smaller fish market, Fish Market Square. In this peaceful and beautiful #touristlandmark, how could one imagine that this place was once a very busy little harbor? 🤨🤨 In this ancient seaport, there is a great independent fishmonger Welch Fishmongers. Visitors who know how to eat and drink can also choose to go to The Fishmarket, Pier Brasserie or Loch Fyne's famous #seafoodrestaurants to enjoy the #invincibleseaview while tasting a variety of seafood and authentic food 😋😋. If you like watching the sunset gradually dye the sky and the sea red, this is definitely the best place to #sunsetcheck-in. Newhaven is just as its name suggests, the "new paradise" of #tourist attraction 👍👍! If you have enough time, you can also explore the #history, culture and characteristics of the ancient villages around #newhaven. If you like indoor rock climbing, you can also make an appointment to challenge alien rock 💪💪. It's endless fun and it's really a #touristy destination worth visiting! #famousattractions #touristattractionrecommendations #familytravel #attractions #seaviewrestaurant #popularrestaurant #popularcheck-inrestaurant #popularcheck-inlocation #goodcheck-inplace #goodplacetoeat #sunsetview #benefitsofgoingatsunset #goodplacetodate #consumptionvoucherstrategy
