At the heart of it all.

At the heart of it all.

Leith is a vibrant waterside community that is home to creatives and long-time locals, with an independent spirit and a strong culinary scene. The area is celebrated for its independent restaurants, welcoming bars and cosy coffee houses, not to mention the popular Pitt Street Market, creative hub Custom Lane and the recently launched Browns of Leith, a foodie’s paradise in a former metalwork factory.

From bonded warehouses to makers’ markets, historic ships to hip hangouts, Leith’s story is ever evolving but always mindful of its storied past. Mantle Yard is perfectly placed to make the most of this cosmopolitan neighbourhood, a short stroll from the Shore and well connected with the city centre, yet peacefully tucked away within garden walls.

“It has been a joy to watch the area evolve and  reinvent itself. Today it’s the city’s creative heart,  full of artists, musicians, designers and startups,  with a thriving food and drink scene.” 

“Dubbed the Shoreditch of Scotland’s capital,  the port district is spirited and authentic,  a must for foodies and history buffs.”
