Guided walking tour - Invisible Cities

Check out Invisible Cities for a guided walking tour with a difference. They are an amazing social enterprise who hire and train people who have experienced homelessness to be tour guides of their own city. There's plenty of tour options in Edinburgh, including one of Leith. Book on their website.

Graffiti and street art

In my opinion, some of the best graffiti art in Edinburgh is in Leith. For a gallery view of lots of different artists head to Maritime Lane or Giles Street. Or for one of the biggest pieces of Edinburgh Street art, and a nod to our favourite Scottish band, head to Linksview House.
