The remains of Carlingnose Jetty are found close to the Fife Coastal Path just along from North Queensferry on the way the Inverkeithing Bay. The history of Carlingnose Jetty is linked to the North Queensferry gun battery which was placed high up on the cliffs to protect the dockyard at Rosyth as well as the Forth Rail Bridge.
Close to the shore line near to the jetty are the remains of a munitions dump, this dump was originally a mine depot for World War I submarines. Along the top of the jetty it is still possible to see the railway tracks which were used by the electric locomotive to transport the munitions. File 2718.
