Granton forms part of Edinburgh&#8217;s waterfront along the\u00a0Firth of Forth and is, historically, an industrial area having a large harbour.\u00a0Granton first appears on maps in the 17th century relating to the now demolished Granton Castle.\u00a0The name also appears in Granton Burn, which now runs through Caroline Park down to what was Granton Beach. The name is presumed to come from Grant&#8217;s Town or Grant&#8217;s Dun\/hill.
