About Granton Middle Pier Lighthouse
Built in 1936, this 12-meter steel post lighthouse guides vessels from its location on the middle pier at Granton. The structure is painted green, matching the color of its light. Although the station was established earlier, the current post replaced an older structure. The lighthouse was deactivated in 1970. Following a period of inactivity, it underwent restoration in 2019 as part of a broader waterfront revitalization effort. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's restoration in 2019 highlights its role in the history of Granton's harbor and its integration into the renewed waterfront. Its design reflects the practical requirements of a working port.
