Port of Leith Distillery - AMAZING :-) - Guide was super knowledgeable and fun. We really enjoyed our tour and tasting at the Port of Leith Distillery and would highly recommend this. We had dinner afterwards and the bar / dining area is excellent as well - our table was by the window and the view over the Royal Yacht Britannia was amazing!
