Sunshine on Leith�
Resting on the banks of the Firth of Forth to the north of Edinburgh city centre, Leith isn't just a port. It's a vibrant waterfront hub of quirky shops, galleries and chic bars and eateries. And it even featured in a hit film based on songs by The Proclaimers. Many visitors to this popular area enjoy a gentle stroll along The Shore, followed by a spot of lunch overlooking the harbour.
