The ranking of the most eligible Scottish ports was assembled by Scottish Enterprise, a quasi-governmental agency, and comes as part of its National Renewables Infrastructurereport.
Despite the fact that the number two choice, Dundee, is further along in its investment plans than Leith, it was downgraded due to its smaller available area.
Scottish Enterprise reckons that Leith, located on the Firth of Forth, could play host to a fully-integrated turbine manufacturing hub.
