Situated on the Firth of Forth, this historic district was once a thriving fishing village and harbour, and is now earmarked as one of the city’s conservation areas. Newhaven has developed greatly in recent years and offers residents an excellent range of local amenities, including a 24-hour ASDA superstore and Ocean Terminal, which is home to high-street stores and restaurants, a multi-screen cinema, and a 24-hour gym. Neighbouring Leith also offers a range of shops, bars and restaurants, including two Michelin-star establishments. For sports and fitness enthusiasts, Newhaven certainly delivers, with extensive facilities at the David Lloyd Gym and Club and a fantastic indoor climbing centre at Alien Rock. For a more relaxing option, Newhaven’s waterfront forms part of the Edinburgh promenade, which extends along Granton towards Cramond Beach. Excellent public transport links will be further enhanced with the extension of the tramline, which will terminate in Newhaven and provide direct links to the airport via the city centre from early 2023. For those wishing to travel further afield, the district’s northerly position enables easy access to the Queensferry Crossing and Edinburgh City Bypass, as well as Edinburgh International Airport and the motorway network. The area is in the catchment for well-regarded state schools at primary and secondary level, and is well-placed for Edinburgh’s leading independent schools.
