Description
The Shore, Port of Leith, Edinburgh.
The district of Leith rests on the shores of the Firth of Forth, at the mouth of the Water of Leith. Having served as the port of Edinburgh for hundreds of years, the area’s original harbour dates back to the 14th century and has been visited by many travelling kings and queens, including Mary Queen of Scots and King George IV.
The Shore is now an upmarket area lined with bistros, stylish bars, traditional pubs and first-rate restaurants with some of Scotland’s finest chefs.
