This evening, I am posting information on the Dock Basin on the Leith Waterfront. This lies on the southern coast of the Firth of Forth (estuary) in eastern Scotland.

Information on Leith Dock Basin
For administrative purposes Leith is part of Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city. The district is situated directly to the north of Edinburgh city.
This particular location attracts large visitor numbers each year. This is due to a combination of the (now retired) Royal Yacht Britannia and a major shopping mall (Ocean Terminal). Both of the foregoing attract large volumes of visitors each year.
The basin is where the Water of Leith (river) flows into the Firth of Forth. Here can be found a number of docks including the Albert Docks and Imperial Dock.
The video clip shown above was taken from a point close to the Royal Yacht and covering about 180 degrees looking north.

In addition to the Royal Yacht and connected shopping mall visitors can also consider the Port of Leith Whisky Distillery and Lind and Lime Gin Distillery.
Leith can be accessed by tram, bus and motor vehicle from Edinburgh.
