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.
Leith is one of Edinburgh’s most varied neighbourhoods.

Leith 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.
