A year ago Forth Ports removed the temporary pedestrian route through the docks when boats are unloading timber for Scott Pallets.

Now a year on, signs have appeared at both entrances. Presumably the “No” will be covered when a boat comes in – next one due tomorrow.

Unfortunately anyone hoping to pass through today would have found the west end completely barriered off – even though there was no boat and no unloading.
