Edinburgh Leith Accommodation
Leith is the port area of Edinburgh and has both the gritty charm and the problems associated with being a port. Big ships may not tie up any more, except for the Royal Yacht Britannia (though there are plans for a major liner terminal) but it still has some redlight problems and some occassional violence (from the local neds). The hotels are slick and the local restaurants very good. This is where artists and slick mejia types hang out.
