Leith
Explore Edinburgh’s fastest-growing cultural area.
Spend a day exploring experimental, ground-breaking work from galleries trailing from Calton Hill to Leith Walk, along Ferry Road and towards The Shore. To see it all, join our Leith Day gallery crawl, and fill an afternoon with the best the city has to offer.
Alongside its diverse artistic offering, Leith is known for its independent businesses, community-led spaces, party spots, and unique venues — including the site of EAF’s closing performance, with striking movement against a raw, industrial backdrop in the Port of Leith.
