Leith is an industrial port neighborhood that's been turned into a hip, adaptive reuse haven, according to Time Out, which ranked the nook of Scotland’s capital city at number 16 on its list this year. The former Biscuit Factory warehouse, for example, is now a rustic arts venture hosting vintage night markets, weddings and an annual “beverage festival,” which are indicative of the type of cultural programming this area of Edinburgh is now known for.
Close to the Leith Walk, a famous pub-lined street, this 740-square-feet retail condo is “ideal for hot food takeaway,” according to listing agent Greg Dykes of Dykes Property Consultants. At only $171,605, an owner-user could maybe even recoup their outlay in a few busy Leith Walk nights.
“Leith is a buzzing port district, home to hip creatives and long time locals. Waterfront seafood bistros and traditional pubs dot the Shore area,” Dykes told LoopNet. “The Royal Yacht Britannia, a former ocean-going royal residence, showcases elaborate state apartments and an onboard Rolls-Royce engine which was assembled on the Clyde. The riverside Water of Leith Walkway and Leith Walk, a busy street with food and thrift shops, link the area with the city centre.”
