The Neighborhood:

Leith is one of Edinburgh’s most exciting and fast-evolving neighbourhoods, with a genuine character all of its own. Once the city’s working port, it has transformed into a destination in its own right, known for its outstanding restaurant scene, independent bars, gallery spaces and the buzzing stretch of the Shore along the Water of Leith.



The Shore and its surrounding streets are a short walk away, lined with some of the best seafood restaurants and cocktail bars in the city. The Royal Yacht Britannia, now permanently moored at Ocean Terminal, is one of Edinburgh’s most popular attractions and is easily reachable on foot. Leith Market on Saturdays is a local favourite for street food and artisan produce.



For getting into the city centre, the Edinburgh Tram stops at Newhaven and connects directly to Princes Street, the city centre and Edinburgh Airport. Several Lothian Bus routes also run along Leith Walk and Easter Road, making Edinburgh Waverley Station and the Old Town easily reachable in around twenty to twenty-five minutes.



Getting Around:

Balfour Street – Tram (Airport–Newhaven) & Bus 7, 14, 16, 17, 25, 49
