South Leith

South Leith occupies the southern part of Edinburgh's old port district, just northeast of the city centre along the Firth of Forth. Reach it via the A199 from town or the A901 from the west, with Edinburgh Airport 15 kilometres away. The area's transformed from industrial docklands into a mixed residential and retail quarter, anchored by IKEA Edinburgh in a converted warehouse that perfectly captures Leith's evolution from working port to modern destination.
