The Shore area of Leith, which is situated on either side of the Water of Leith as it approaches the sea, has become a particularly fashionable area, as well Leith Walk with its array of shops, cafes and restaurants.

From here, it is a short walk into the city centre, with the option of using one of the many and frequent bus services that use this route, or the tram.
