More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the tram into Leith where salt-tinged air rides the quay and the distillery's clean botanical scent cuts through the urban hum. Inside Lind & Lime, copper stills and stainless steel tanks sit under industrial windows; the first drink— a bright double gin & tonic—arrives and the room narrows to the ritual of smell and sip.
