The Port of Leith is a major seaport facility on Scotland’s east coast, serving the city of Edinburgh. It is operated by Forth Ports, and is Scotland’s largest enclosed deep-water port. Much of the port is built on reclaimed land, with the shore moving northwards over the years.

From the 1990s onward, Leith has seen major regeneration. Projects include the Ocean Terminal shopping complex (with the permanently berthed royal yacht HMY Britannia) and the Victoria Quay offices of the Scottish Government.
