Getting around from Leith

Leith is the ancient port of Edinburgh and is now integrated into the city.

When you arrive you will be aware of significant roadworks ongoing. This is due to the extension of the city tram service. The work will complete in 2023, but in the meantime, we are all working around the disruption

From your ship it is an easy walk into the nearby shopping centre, or to see one of the most popular attractions The Royal Yacht Britannia.

Taxis will be waiting on the quayside, just beyond the terminal building. Some cruise operators offer a shuttle service to the city centre by coach. There are no rail connections in Leith, and your nearest station is Edinburgh Waverley.

Bus services 11 and 22 run frequently into the city centre. For unlimited travel around the city on Lothian Buses, an Adult Day Ticket costs £4.50. Buses take cash (exact fare) or contactless payments (up to a maximum of £30).

There is also a hop on- hop off service - The Majestic Tour which will take you around major city attractions including the Castle and the Royal Mile.

It is also possible to walk into Leith, exploring the many shops and eateries.
