Step off the beaten path and explore Leith, one of Edinburgh’s most vibrant neighborhoods. On this walking tour, travelers will discover Leith’s maritime roots, artistic revival, and connection to Scotland’s spirits industry. Along the way, enjoy local snacks while learning how this once-industrial port evolved into a cultural hub.

Continue to the Leith Distillery, Scotland’s tallest and one of its newest, for a behind-the-scenes tour. Learn how whisky is crafted from raw grain to finished spirit, explore the blending room, and admire the distillery’s striking copper stills. Bottle a 10ml sample of New Make spirit to take home, then enjoy a guided tasting of four pours: New Make whisky, port, sherry, and a food-friendly table whisky.

This experience is ideal for travelers seeking local flavor and Scotch expertise.
