Local Area
Leith is one of Edinburgh’s most dynamic and culturally rich neighbourhoods, situated to the northeast of the city centre at the mouth of the Water of Leith. Once a bustling port town in its own right, Leith has undergone extensive regeneration in recent decades and is now regarded as one of the capital’s most desirable and diverse places to live.

Famed for its maritime heritage, creative energy, and community spirit, Leith offers a unique blend of old and new. The area is home to a wide variety of property styles, from traditional stone-built tenements and converted warehouses to stylish modern apartments along the waterfront.

Leith Walk and The Shore are at the heart of the neighbourhood’s appeal. Leith Walk, which connects Leith to the city centre, is lined with an eclectic mix of independent shops, artisan bakeries, cosy cafés, traditional pubs, and global cuisine, while The Shore boasts a more refined atmosphere with its Michelin-starred restaurants, trendy bars, and scenic waterfront views.

The area also offers an abundance of green and open spaces, including Leith Links, a large public park ideal for outdoor activities, and the Water of Leith Walkway, which provides a tranquil route through the city for walkers and cyclists alike.

Transport links are excellent: Leith is well-served by an extensive network of buses, and the newly extended Edinburgh Tram line now links the area directly with Edinburgh Airport, Newhaven, and the city centre, further enhancing its connectivity. For those who prefer to travel on foot or bike, central Edinburgh is easily accessible within 20–30 minutes.

With its vibrant lifestyle, excellent transport connections, and rich local character, Leith continues to attract a wide range of residents – from young professionals and creatives to families and downsizers – all drawn to its unique blend of urban edge and coastal charm.
