In a recent list of 'coolest places' to live in the UK, Leith took the top spot for Scotland.
The port area in the north of Edinburgh has a long and fascinating history, with the earliest surviving references dating all the way back to the 12th century. The harbour itself was established in the 14th century and has seen visits from many travelling monarchs over the years, from Mary, Queen of Scots to King George IV.
Today, Leith has garnered a reputation as a cultural hub, and is a popular spot among Edinburgh's creatives. With a seemingly endless supply of bars, restaurants, and boutiques popping up in recent years, it is no surprise that young people have flocked to the buzzing port district.
