Newhaven Quay

Lovely views onto the water…
It;s a very nice place to walk along the promenade, enjoying the spring sun and listen to the waves crashing against the stones.
There is a lovely lighthouse at the start of the walk. followed by views on to a row of modern skyscrapers.
It looks very futuristic, still amazing so.

Walking through Leith on a blazing hot Summer’s day does make you appreciate how good some areas of Leith are. None more so than Newhaven Quay.
Situated right next to Newhaven Harbour, the Quay has a Brewer’s fayre, a fishmonger and a few cafes/​restaurants. All are of a similar design with a wooden structure which has been used to blend in with the history of the area (Harbour and fish industry of old). To be fair the architecture is not the best and certainly does not match in with the rest of the area.
The harbour is still used and still houses quite a few small private boats. It is also home to the local boat club as well!
However, on a nice Summer’s day it is a pleasant place to walk around, especially due to its brilliant views over the Firth of Forth and of the Kingdom of Fife.
