Description This new constituency comprises the whole of the old Edinburgh North and Leith seat, to which is added one ward from the old Edinburgh Central seat, one ward shared between the old Edinburgh Central and Edinburgh West seats, and one ward partly in the old Edinburgh West seat. This seat covers an area north from the New Town - an elegant Georgian district in fine neo-classical style - to Leith, Edinburgh's historic port. This port was at one time the centre of the city's heavy engineering industry. Some bright developments have brought it yuppie-style housing and arguably the best concentration of bars and restaurants in the city, many of them around the old waterfront area, earning it the soubriquet 'Leith sur mer'. There is a massive new shopping mall, the Ocean Terminal, where the Royal Yacht Britannia - a major tourist attraction - is berthed. Nearby at Victoria Quay is the sprawling office complex of the Scottish Executive.
