Leith Edinburgh's port. Home of Hibs football team.
Ocean Terminal Shopping Mall.
Royal Yacht Britannia .
Newhaven Harbour & Museum.
Restaurants + Pubs.
The Shore ! The Water of Leith walkway.
Downtown and not Uptown you need to go to Edinburgh for that.
In the town's centre, the comparatively recent proliferation of bars and restaurants along the Shore, overlooking the Water of Leith, has resulted in the area becoming a major tourist attraction, particulary at weekends and during the Festival in August.
Much infilling of derelict sites has been done, but the destruction of Leith's ancient buildings has at last been halted. Surviving buildings of architectural interest include the Custom House in Commercial Street, Lamb's House {Mary Queens of Scots waited for her carrage to Edinburgh here} in Burgess Street and the late-Georgian houses in Bernard and Constitution streets.
- Pros:Cheaper Beer Food. Growing Waterfront, Tourist Free Zone
- Cons:Very much Downtown life.
- In a nutshell:Real Scots People cheaper hotels & Living style.

It's always good to get an insider's view of a place.
Interesting page. Ports are always fascinating places.
enjoyed your page
Thank You to all those who like this page. I'll try and update it when I can. This is where Edinburghroc "LIVES"
Love Your Ship page. I am helping to restore a 16th Century Ship Replica so I have taken an interest to Older Ships, Randall.
Leith is where I came first to Scotland, working on a cruiseship
