Leith Walk is said to be the longest street in Edinburgh, connecting Leith with the city centre. I must admit this sometimes confuses me as the road from North Bridge to Newington and beyond is quite long too. Regardless, Leith Walk (The Walk) is a long street with a wonderful diverse offering of shops, cafés, bars, restaurants and more! It really is quite vibrant.
I’ve been meaning to post more about The Walk however it is currently under heavy construction with the tramlines. So, it is hard to take a good photo but I was asked recently to post a pic or two. I am happy to oblige. As a result, I went through my old pics and took a few new ones.
Above is Leith Walk at Pilrig before the tramline construction started. The official Leith border!
Above is a comparison of Picardy to Leith Walk at two different dates. Picardy is at the Top of Leith Walk.
Below is a gallery of various sections of The Walk.
Leith Walk has something for everyone. When the tramline construction is completed, it will be even more amazing.

Thank you!!
I miss living just off Leith Walk! However it is a bit of a disaster zone at the moment. I’m looking forward to it all being finished. Some real gems along that road.
