Starting at Edinburgh Castle because it is the very essence of Scotland’s identity, this is a complete, 48-hour guide to Edinburgh. Taking in the Royal Mile, Leith, the Royal Yacht Britannia and famous Italian deli Valvona & Crolla. Duration: 34m 48s [...]
Irvine Welsh’s “Trainspotting” shone a light into the dark corners of Leith in the early nineties, a degenerate urban nightmare of heroin addiction, lawlessness and violence. That’s largely all disappeared now, so much so that the tourist board has even tacitly blessed the “Trainspotting Walk” around Leith which takes in such delights as ‘sick boy’s pub’, the scene of the ‘worst toilet’ ever, and various other locations in a combined walking/bus tour. Kicks off from the famous Port O’ Leith pub and the organizer Tim Bell can be contacted on 0131 555 2500 for bookings.
