Leith, Edinburgh's principal port, lies at the mouth of the Water of Leith, where it enters the Firth of Forth. It has much historical interest, becoming Edinburgh's official port in 1329. From the apartment's balcony you often have the stunning view of large ships berthed at the Ocean Terminal.
Leith developed in association with ship building, rope making, saw milling and flour milling. Now it has become Edinburgh's up and coming residential area, with a really wide variety of places to eat and drink as well as many other attractions. Near the apartment there are picturesque marinas, restaurants specialising in seafood, and interesting pubs, and it is possible to take boat trips on the River Forth. The beach at Portobello is a short distance to the east, together with the rest of the beautiful coastline. There are excellent public transport links, not only to all of Edinburgh's attractions but, for instance, over the spectacular Forth bridges to Fife and south to the Scottish border
