Welcome

On Dock Place, by the Shore at Leith, a small red-brick building with green shutters and barrels at the door was once the waiting room for the steamboat ferry from Leith to Aberdeen.

The ferry is long gone, and since 2008 the old waiting room has been Teuchters Landing, a bar named with a wink at the Scots word for a Highlander.

Inside, the rooms are dark and snug, with flags and pictures on the walls and a gantry of more than ninety malt whiskies behind the bar, with plenty of beers on tap and wines by the glass. Outside is the best of it: seats on a floating pontoon on the Water of Leith and on the dockside under awnings and heaters, looking over the water to the old warehouses of the Shore. The kitchen serves pub food through the day.

Teuchters Landing opens every day from ten in the morning until late.
