Victoria Quay

Victoria Quay is a Scottish Government building in Leith housing administrative offices distributed across multiple floors near Edinburgh's waterfront. The structure spans along the harbor and provides extensive work areas for public administration.

The building was constructed in the early 1990s and marked the start of transforming the formerly industrial harbor area. Its completion brought a new direction for the development of Leith's waterfront district.

The building reflects Leith's maritime past through its design, which draws inspiration from naval construction and dockyard traditions. You can see this maritime influence in the shape and structure of the complex throughout your visit.

The complex is easily accessible by public transportation and offers parking and bike storage on site. Visitors should know that access may vary depending on the type of official business being conducted.

The complex played a key role in turning a neglected harbor area into a modern residential district with restaurants and shops. This revitalization made Leith a popular neighborhood for many residents and visitors.
