text: ts a funny old place is Leith I mean it is home to some of the finest restaurants in Edinburgh Martin Wishart is on The Shore while The Kitchen is party of the ultracool Commercial Street complex both of which are Michelin starred It is also got some great bars and shops among other things The top of Leith walk boasts the Playhouse and the Omni centre nnYet just a short way down Leith walk and it all feels a bit dangerous It is run down in a lot of places The Tesco on Brunswick Place is horrendous when I went in there I counted security guards I mean is not that just perpetuating the problemnnIts definitely worth a look and the walk down to the Water of Leith is brilliant on a sunny day There are loads of seating areas looking out to the water which makes for a great thinking spot Just keep checking for your wallet
