Leith is one of Edinburgh’s most characterful areas, known for its waterfront, independent businesses and strong creative community. Around the Shore, the pace feels more relaxed, with a mix of places to eat, browse and spend time by the water.

Begin at Custom Lane, a quiet pocket of creativity just steps from the water. Home to artists, makers and small studios, it reflects a shared appreciation for craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
Just along from here, Shore Deli Co. is a natural first stop. Simple, seasonal food, good coffee, and a window seat if you can find one.
Follow the water and you will come across Fishers, a long established favourite where the focus is on fresh Scottish seafood
A little further along, The Oyster Box offers something slightly more refined, with beautifully prepared dishes that still feel rooted in the coast.
Along the Shore, a few vessels have become part of the landscape. The Ocean Mist sits by the water, a reminder of the area’s fishing history, while nearby the Fingal has been carefully restored. Just beyond, the Royal Yacht Britannia remains a familiar presence, tying the area to a wider maritime story.
