Leith was recently shortlisted to become the UK’s first Town of Culture, and it's easy to see why. As Edinburgh’s historic port district, Leith was once Scotland’s main gateway for global trade, with ships arriving from around the world carrying wool, wine, spices, and raw materials. Today, it combines this rich maritime heritage with a vibrant modern atmosphere, offering the perfect blend of city living, waterfront views, and a welcoming community.
Leith is one of Edinburgh's most exciting and student-friendly neighbourhoods, offering the perfect blend of city living, waterfront views, and a welcoming community. With excellent transport links, including trams, buses, and cycle routes connecting the area to Edinburgh's universities, city centre, train stations, and airport, getting around is quick and convenient.
You can enjoy a vibrant social scene thanks to Leith's abundance of independent cafés, restaurants, bars, and cultural hotspots, with favourites such as Toast, Roseleaf, Printworks Coffee, Fishers, and Domenico's all on the doorstep. The neighbourhood's lively waterfront at The Shore, scenic walking routes along the Water of Leith, and growing creative scene provide plenty of opportunities to relax, socialise, and explore outside of studying.
Leith has also undergone significant regeneration in recent years, making it one of Edinburgh's most desirable places to live while retaining its unique character and historic charm. Leith is a safe and popular location for students, with well-lit streets, strong transport connections, and a large community of young residents. Combining convenience, affordability, safety, fantastic food and drink options, and easy access to everything Edinburgh has to offer, Leith is an ideal place to make the most of your university experience.
