About Newhaven

Newhaven is a historic fishing village on the Firth of Forth, now a distinct neighbourhood within Edinburgh connected to the city centre by the tram line.

The harbour, lighthouse, and fish market recall Newhaven's centuries-old fishing heritage — the Newhaven fishwives were once a familiar sight across Edinburgh.

The area has seen significant new housing development alongside the harbour, and the tram terminus has improved its connections to the rest of the city.

Newhaven has a strong sense of community identity, with the Newhaven Heritage Museum preserving the village's distinctive history.

About Edinburgh

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and one of the most recognisable cities in the world, built across a series of volcanic hills on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth.

The Old Town and New Town, together a UNESCO World Heritage Site, form the historic core — but the city stretches far beyond them, taking in dozens of distinct neighbourhoods, suburbs, and villages absorbed over centuries of growth.

From the Georgian terraces of the New Town to the seaside promenade at Portobello, the leafy avenues of Morningside to the waterfront regeneration at Granton, each part of Edinburgh has its own character and community.

The city is a centre for finance, technology, higher education, and the arts — the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world, and the city's universities attract students and researchers from across the globe.

Edinburgh's transport network includes a tram line, an extensive bus system, two mainline railway stations, and an international airport, connecting its neighbourhoods to each other and to the rest of Scotland and beyond.
