Hawkcraig Pier, Aberdour

Standing strong against the crashing waves of the Firth of Forth lies the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Hawkcraig Pier, a testament to a time long gone.

Built in the 1850s to serve the ferry that ran across the Forth to Leith, this pier now stands as a stunning relic of Scotland's maritime history. The pier fell into disrepair after the opening of the Forth Bridge in 1890, but the ruins still stand tall and proud against the stunning backdrop of the Firth of Forth.
