Around a 40 minute walk or 20 minute bus or tram journey from Edinburgh city centre will take you to the eclectic and bustling neighbourhood of Leith. Known as Edinburgh’s historic port district, while the days of huge ships sailing in and out full of wool, wine, raw materials and spices have gone, today the neighbourhood still buzzes with activity.
From shoreside dining and independent shops, to cultural attractions that pay homage to the area’s nautical heritage, this is a neighbourhood where there is always something new and exciting to discover.
Continue along the waterfront and the pretty village of Newhaven awaits. Once a thriving fishing village and a centre for shipbuilding, now it is a peaceful location where some of the city’s best fish and seafood can be enjoyed.
Together, these neighbourhoods are home to a variety of businesses that make this area truly special. Discover award-winning restaurants, and bars where the welcome is always warm, as well as independent shops that stock everything on your shopping list, and attractions that offer fun days out for all the family.
