The Ship on the Shore has been trading in various forms for hundreds of years serving the bustling port of Leith.
The area directly outside was part of the main docking point for Ships exporting and importing luxury goods all over Europe, including wine, port and brandy, alongside cloth, spices, paper and exquisite glassware.
