The improvements involved linking an island (centre) to the south shore, building a quay and forming a basin. A tramway was built, linking the harbour to a coal mine and a salt works. Scotland's indented coastline afforded many convenient anchorages but many more were created from an early date by harbour-building. An example is Dunbar's 'Lammerhaven', which dates from the 16th century. Resource pack   1     2     3     4
