Leith
Harbour, the Shore and the yacht
Leith is Edinburgh's port, a few miles north of the centre, with a waterfront, Ocean Terminal and its own parks.
The Royal Yacht Britannia is open 363 days a year and closed on 25 December and 1 January. It sits beside Ocean Terminal, a shopping centre with free parking. The Shore is where the Water of Leith meets the Forth.
Leith Links, Lochend Park and Pilrig Park are the main parks. Leith Market and Easter Road Stadium, the home of Hibernian, are also here.
Getting there
Trams run from the city centre to Ocean Terminal and the Shore, and buses run down Leith Walk.
