| Description: | Oblique aerial view of north Edinburgh. Leith Links, Leith, and Granton, and Granton Harbour in the distance; looking from the south-east. The post-glacial and late-glacial raised beaches. The built-up area, on left, built on the late-glacial raised beach slopes down into the post-glacial raised beach across Leith Links, lower right. The raised beach flats are cut by the Water of Leith with its narrow alluvial plain. Leith Docks and Granton Harbour both contain land reclaimed from the intertidal beach. |
