Coming to Edinburgh? You really must see Leith

LEITH is to be promoted as a “must-see” tourist attraction alongside Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile.

Thousands of visitors currently stop off to see the Royal Yacht Britannia, then leave without seeing any more of the port area.

Tourism chiefs believe many of them could be tempted to spend more time enjoying its shops, bars and local history.

They are also convinced other visitors could be tempted to Leith if they knew more about what the area had to offer.

Now 60,000 glossy VisitLeith booklets are being printed and a website launched in a bid to lure more visitors. The leaflets will be distributed at Edinburgh Airport and popular attractions such as Edinburgh Castle, the Museum of Scotland, the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh Zoo and the Royal Yacht Britannia.
