topcat(The most tip top) Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 These threads always end up the same way, everyone agreeing EH6 is the best area in Edinburgh. If you're looking for both cheap junkie whores and expensive Michelin starred seafood then it's the obvious choice. It all depends on what you're wanting from a night out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 This kind of thing doesn't normally happen with other threads eh? You know a simple question turning in to a "mine's bigger than yours" aka "posh postcode wars"? 1 thing, actually the only thing that's good about the weegies, they don't bicker over this kind of shit.

Bobby Skidmarks Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Leith is a cracking part of town Pisses all over the rest of Embra Shut up, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Remember the Scotsman or someone published a list last year of the top 10 postcodes in the country and EH11 made the cut. Never thought that highly of Stenhouse and Sighthill personally. Skidmark Heights is in the desirable part of EH11, this doesn't surprise me.

throbber Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Are you near Meggatland Skidmarks? When i first came here i didn't know the are very well but we knew Leith and Gorgie were decent areas to rent for cheap so looked at both areas and ended up moving down near the big Asda in Leith. I liked it a lot from the word go then when it came to buying we looked at places in the North and now live on the Leith/Broughton/Pilrig area. Counts as EH6 though its EH5 right across the road from us. Would like to live in Stockbridge one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I quite often prowl around the area before 5's and when ever I see a mean looking skinhead often wonder if it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do go to that gym, if I see a drunk with girls pants on his head then I'll say hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I don't go to the gym there I walk past it on route to my friends flat before we go to corn exchange. Go bowling at fountain park from time to time as well, decent enough area for amenities etc. Also - what a cutting remark calling me a drunk.

You'd need to walk back along the canal for a fair bit. I also hear Mr Basrais is shut down, it's only been open about a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wasn't dece though Also heard really good things about the Indian restaurant in Dundee street The Guru? It used to be good, I'm sure they changed owners and the quality has gone down. The wee Italian next door is worth a visit, it looks like a cafe but the food is dece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Shen Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Used to drink at the auld toll. Got a wee bit if a surprise when I expected it to still be the same. Same with the Fountain!

invergowrie arab Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I have never been to Leith. I will remedy that tomorrow. What's the shouts for a beer and whisky snob for a light lunch and session? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 In one sentence you've managed to sum up what's great about the place. But to tie your post back in with the original point. Leith clearly isn't "city centre" but for much of its existence it at least had a "town centre" which is partly why it retains the heterogeneity that you appreciate so much as opposed to dull outlying districts like Colinton or Craigmillar.

Mr Bairn Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 I like the pub the Hanging Bat near the top of Lothian road A couple of my mates like that place. I'm not a big fan of craft beer though and they charged me something like £7.20 for a double vodka and coke on a pub crawl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
