    Not worth it!

    Well i live in Edinburgh and the Area of Leith is a two minute journey away. Its a well known place and only recently for all the right reasons , the nightlife is moderatly good as you get down to the shore but i suggest you avoid Leith Walk as the pubs there are rather dim.Part of Leith is run down and old whereas a good area of it has been refurbished and contains brilliant shopping and entertainment facillities.(Ocean Terminal) it Really depends what it is you would like to go for ? But if You are planning on travelling to Leith feel Free to ask me , i promise its not as bad as ive made it sound :).

    Great city Edinburgh. I was Lucky enough to live there for three years in the early 80’s. Have also visited since.

    A ship I was serving on also went into Leith, which is the area of Edinburgh near to the docks. Rumour has it, (and if you have heard this already, I apologise)... The old tongue twister that was used by the Police to see if someone was sober enough to be allowed to go on his way, was, ” The Leith Police Dismisseth Us”. If you were a drunken sailor and could not say it 10 times you were taken in. True? I dont know, but I like the story.

    The Scots are some of the friendliest people you will meet, and I say that as a Welshman.
    If in Edinburgh, you must check out the grass market and the castle (be there before 1 pm) to see the field gun being fired to signal the time to shipping. At the same time a black ball can be seen falling on the mast above the observatory.

    The main shopping thoroughfare is Princes street. But, parallel to princes street is Rose street and I have lost count as to how many pubs are on this street. You will not go thirsty in Edinburgh. Try some of the whiskies, there are too many to recommend. I guarantee, there is a whisky for everyones taste.

    I just can’t wait to get to Leith and Edinburgh. I’m getting married there in April 2006 and I’m very excited. My fiance and I are planning to take in a “The Witchery” walking tour and of course see Edinburgh Castle and Museum of Scotland. We would love to hear further recommendations on what to do or see while there.

    i’ve lived in Leith for four years and have seen the good and unfortunately the bad, but thats the same wherever you live.

    The good outweighs the bad, nice place to visit whilst in Edinburgh, some cool shops and excellent restaurants.
