; don't forget to take tea and scones in the ship's
Royal Deck Tea Room.
There are plenty of good lunch spots with outdoor tables at nearby Victoria
Dock.
A Room in Leith

has tables on a pontoon floating in the
dock, while you'll need to reserve well ahead to get a table at Michelin-starred
The
Kitchin

. In the afternoon, head west to
Newhaven Harbour

for a wildlife boat trip around the islands in the Firth of Forth.
Leith nightlife is more about eating and drinking than culture and entertainment,
so - once again - plan in advance to be sure of a dinner table at one of the neigh-
bourhood's top restaurants:
Martin Wishart
(

or
Plumed Horse
(

). Follow up with cocktails served in a teapot at the
Roseleaf
(

, or pints of real
ale at
Teuchters Landing
(

.
