Granton Harbour handbooks

The handbooks were published by Granton Harbour Ltd to give details about the facilities available. The 1934 version is fairly short and the version I have used has been updated with neatly inserted pages to include events in 1937. The later versions have been expanded to give more of the history of the harbour.

There is a choice of three ways to read the Granton Harbour handbooks.
