Harbour. Built in 1870-74, to replace the earlier harbour of 1804. Roughly rectangular basin formed by a concrete pier on an L-plan and straight rubble piers, stilling basins between the straight piers. Storehouses,1-storey and attic, 2 by 3 bay, of rubble construction. There is an opening in the W pier to admit currents for the clearance of silt from the basin (as at Dundee) and a niche to hold a barometer, similar to one still in place at Dunbar. At one time a thriving harbour, used for exporting coal, grain and slate as well as a base for the local fishing industry the. The harbour was restored in the late 1980s, but is now virtually disused. Part of the pier was damaged during storms in December 2013.
