Teuchters Landing

Teuchters Landing is a waterside pub at 1c Dock Place on The Shore in Leith, Edinburgh's historic port district in Scotland. It occupies a converted harbour building that was once a waiting room for ferries, and in summer a terrace beside the Water of Leith becomes one of the more popular outdoor drinking spots in the area. The pub is known for a large whisky list and a menu of pub food, and it draws a mixed crowd of locals, Leith residents, office workers and visitors exploring the Shore's bars and restaurants.

The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried. It is not a club and has no dancefloor, with music kept as background so that conversation is easy. Ages range from young adults to older regulars, and there is no dress code; casual clothes are the norm. Warm evenings bring groups to the terrace, while in colder months the interior, with its harbour-building character, is the draw.

The drinks programme is that of a traditional pub with a whisky emphasis. A pint of beer typically costs about £5.50 to £7.50 (roughly $7 to $10), and a dram of whisky starts from about £5 (about $7), with the selection ranging across Scottish regions. The kitchen serves pub food, so the venue works for a meal as well as for drinks. There is no cover charge, and reservations are not usually needed for drinks, though groups wanting a meal on a busy weekend may wish to ask the venue about booking.

Opening hours are typically daily from about 11am until about 1am, which makes it useful both as a lunch stop and as a late-evening bar. Friday and Saturday evenings, and sunny summer afternoons, are the busiest times; weekday daytimes are quieter. Leith is reached from central Edinburgh by Lothian Buses from Princes Street or by the Edinburgh tram, and the Shore is within easy walking distance of the other bars and restaurants that line the waterside, so Teuchters Landing is often the start of an evening in Leith rather than the end.
