Newhaven Lighthouse is always a favourite for Edinburgh Photographers.

Between 1572 and 1890, Newhaven was a major oyster port. A lighthouse was built in 1869.

The structure has since fallen into disuse. Newhaven's harbour is now dwarfed by the enlarged Leith Harbour.

The once thriving fishmarket is now converted into a smaller fishmarket (still in use), a restaurant and the Newhaven Heritage Museum.
