Get tickets here for The Alternative Story of Leith, one of Edinburgh's most unique walking tours!

Leith is a lively and somewhat hidden gem in Edinburgh. Discover Leith’s global connections and the challenges it still faces today, while exploring its rich history and the transformations it has undergone over the years.

Tour highlights:

  • Your journey begins at the Scottish Merchant Navy Memorial on the Shore.
  • The tour will guide you through Leith, once a separate entity from Edinburgh, now celebrated as one of the capital’s most vibrant and community-driven areas.
  • We conclude on Leith Walk, one of Scotland’s most cosmopolitan streets, where numerous restaurants, bars, and cafés await to offer you a warm drink!

Please note:

  • This tour includes topics that may not be suitable for young children, such as drug use.
  • However, the team can tailor it for a younger audience.

This can vary from tour to tour, but Invisible Cities prefer to have tours starting with three customers. The maximum capacity is usually 20 or 25.

Is your group bigger? Don’t panic. They can accommodate any size, if you have more than 25 people they will simply split your group between several guides at no added cost to you!

The tours delivered by Invisible Cities take you on a unique route, but most of them are wheel-chair accessible.

They can also adapt their tours to your group and guests, so everyone can enjoy them!

No! Rain or shine, your tour will go ahead, unless there is a weather warning and you have been advised to stay inside (which has happened in Scotland before!)
