Review: Diggers Leith – a pub in Leith

February 16, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A fantastic new addition to Leith, Diggers offers a top-tier drinks menu and a vibrant setting. From the Calcutta Cup buzz to the knowledgeable bar staff, it’s a masterclass in pub culture. Perfect for a dram and a local pint by the tram line.
