t's a funny old place is Leith. I mean it's home to some of the finest restaurants in Edinburgh. Martin Wishart is on The Shore, while The Kitchen is party of the ultra-cool Commercial Street complex, both of which are Michelin starred. It's also got some great bars and shops among other things. The top of Leith walk boasts the Playhouse and the Omni centre. \n\nYet just a short way down Leith walk and it all feels a bit dangerous. It's run down in a lot of places. The Tesco on Brunswick Place is horrendous - when I went in there I counted 5 security guards. I mean, isn't that just perpetuating the problem?\n\nIt's definitely worth a look, and the walk down to the Water of Leith is brilliant on a sunny day. There are loads of seating areas looking out to the water, which makes for a great thinking spot. Just keep checking for your wallet.
