Hound Point Terminal
Hound Point, located near
the iconic Forth Bridge, is a significant oil export terminal. Operational since 1975,
it’s the largest facility of its kind in Scotland. While the
terminal itself is industrial, nearby Edinburgh offers a wealth of
historical and cultural attractions. Explore the Edinburgh Castle for stunning
views and a glimpse into Scotland’s past, or delve into the literary heritage at the Writers’
Museum. Similar to Braefoot Bay, shopping options are limited at Hound Point itself.
However, nearby Dalgety Bay offers a solution with Hugos Bar & Pavilion.
Additionally, explore local shops and markets in surrounding areas for a more
diverse shopping experience. For nightlife, venture outside Hound Point to Queensferry’s
Queens Retreat Pub or Dunfermline’s The Hillend Tavern, both known
for their friendly atmosphere. Keep an eye out for the upcoming Thirty Knots
Pub & Restaurant in South Queensferry for future options.
