Danish pastries, freshly roasted coffee, muscovado-grilled goats cheese, sangria, fish soup, homemade ginger beer and scones with homemade jam and clotted cream. Learn how Edinburgh whalers brought back the first penguins to Edinburgh Zoo and who first said that Leith was sunny – and it wasn't The Proclaimers!

This was right up my street, as it involves a lot of food and drink and very little actual walking! Leith is a lovely area in which to while away a few hours in the sunshine. Everything we were served at each of the different outlets was delicious (coffee & pastry, cullen skink, local beer, baked goats' cheese, sangria, scones with jam & cream and tea). It was well organised and we were expected and welcomed at each location. The lovely tour guide gave us a little insight into her own life story and imparted various information about the area's history. I enjoyed her company and that of my fellow travellers. One of the highlights was having a drink on the deck of a permanently moored ship which is run as a hotel.
