A question about this place:
Hi, my fiancea nd I are looking for specific sites to visit that clips of the movie Trainspotting were filmed? Like maybe a certain pub (Trainspotting pub?) or other landmarks used in the movie that we could see and photograph. Thank you!

thanks for the clarification. Let me ask, if it’s rundown… will it be safe for my fiance and I to travel there? I know in NYC there are some parts you avoid because they are too dangerous if you’re not in a gang or part of that neighborhood. Does the same hold true with Edinburgh?

There is not the culture here as there is in NYC, personally I wouldn’t chose to visit Muirhouse at night.

Leith is certainly safe, as with any city at night you have to be aware of what is around you. I live here and socialize here and not had problems.

Oh, don’t say that! Leith isn’t bad… I was married there!

How long has it been since you’ve been there? Sure, certain bits of it used to be dodgy but it’s really looking “sunny” nowadays! :-)
