It is the Cramond Island Causeway.
Walked it with my two grand daughters for the first time yesterday. They still managed to get back to the car before I could take off though ;D

Is it the remains of the old Tay rail bridge at Dundee? Graham, this explains:- The line of concrete pylons on one side, constructed as a submarine defence boom in WWII.(seems to be an intricate shape, why not just square pillars?)

The submarines cannot see the odd shape on their radar, so they creep in past the narrow part, then as the tide drops they get caught by the tail fins, works everytime. Called the U Boat trap, surprised you have not heard about it before.
