Fuel depot, Leith Docks.
Image: © Richard Webb Taken: 25 Aug 2005
Taken from the shore, on a long walk to get at the inaccessible squares of Leith. Fuel, oil for heating was being taken from these tanks by lorry. I expect some of this complex supplies fuel oil for shipping - it is probably a store for some of the longer chained hydrocarbons.
