The island that is visible to the left of the photo is Inchkeith (from the Scottish Gaelic: Innis Cheith). It is administratively part of the Fife council area.

The Newhaven Harbour Lighthouse, just seen in the centre of the photo, was established in 1869 and built by James Dove and Company, Edinburgh. It is a 50 foot high octagonal cast-iron tower. It was decommissioned in 1930.

In 2018 the lighthouse was relit by Forth Ports, with colour changing LEDs for decorative purposes.
