A short stretch of road connecting Granton Road with Granton View and Place. An odd name, not mentioned in 'The Streets of Edinburgh'. The steamship 'LUFRA', built in Hartlepool in 1881 disappeared after leaving Cardiff bound for Genoa with a load of coal in 1888, and was presumed lost, but I found no reference to a Scottish connection. Most other Googling results referred to hotels in Australia.
