Super quirky tiny restaurant with unusual menu. You can have afternoon tea or champagne afternoon tea (don't forget to ask for a hat from the wall) because you're allowed to wear them. Try and book ahead as it's hard to get a table at the weekend.

Michelin starred restaurant from renowned Scottish chef Tom Tom Kitchin. High quality local Scottish produce. The seafood even comes from New Haven Harbour (the local harbour).

The last remaining sailor bar in Leith Edinburgh. It is not for the faint hearted and best to go with an open mind in search of fun. Quiet during the day and buzzing at the weekend. It has been taken over by new management so us locals hope it keeps its local crazy charm.

The Water of Leith Walkway is a pretty hidden trail that leads from the Firth of Forth to the city centre. Very popular with locals for some relaxation. Popular with runner and cyclists. Start from the entrance over the bridge at Sandport Place and keep along the river to as far as you want to explore. Feed the ducks and the swans whilst you walk.
