Leith has always been synonymous with a certain vibrancy when it comes to nightlife. However, long gone are the days when only the brave would venture out after dark. Leith now has a plethora of bars, restaurants, music venues and even a casino meaning you needn’t head home ‘til long after the sun has come up.

The range of tastes, styles and budgets catered for is truly astounding for what was once considered a ‘rough’ part of town. Sipping expensive cocktails in establishments aimed at the image conscious beside premises which still retain the ‘spit and sawdust’ charm of old Leith; the tension (and the ‘spit’) have gone, making Leith a safe, intriguing locale full of character and as always characters.
