Self Storage Near Leith - Serving Newhaven, Portobello & the Edinburgh Waterfront

Our Carron Place store is just off Salamander Street, close to the Leith docks. We serve customers across Leith, Edinburgh, Newhaven, Portobello, Trinity, and Bonnington. Several bus services run along Salamander Street and Leith Walk, connecting directly to Edinburgh city centre.

Leith has been Edinburgh's port for centuries, and its identity has always been distinct from the city it serves, so much so that Leith remained an independent burgh until 1920, and many residents still describe themselves as being "from Leith" rather than Edinburgh. The docks here were once among the busiest in Scotland, handling everything from whisky and wine to coal and timber, and the area's pubs, warehouses, and tenement streets still carry the imprint of that maritime working history.

Over the past two decades, Leith has undergone one of the most significant regenerations in Edinburgh, with former industrial and dockland sites along the waterfront converted into new housing, offices, and leisure developments. The Shore, a cobbled waterside street lined with restaurants and bars, has become one of Edinburgh's most popular dining destinations, and the Royal Yacht Britannia, permanently berthed at Ocean Terminal, is one of the city's most visited attractions. Leith's strong sense of community identity, combined with its renewed economic energy, has made it one of the most dynamic parts of modern Edinburgh.

Whatever brings you to us, we're here to help. Free parking, loading bay, and no long-term commitment.

I stored a suitcase with SafeStore Leith over the summer and it was such a simple and easy process for a really great price. Amy was incredibly friendly and explained everything very well. Overall, I’m very happy with the service.

I cannot recommend Safestore ...

I cannot recommend Safestore enough, and that is entirely down to the phenomenal service provided by Amy. Moving things into storage can be incredibly overwhelming, but Amy completely transformed the experience for me with her professionalism, efficiency, and genuinely warm approach.Right from our initial interaction, Amy took charge and guided me through every single step. She didn’t just show me a unit; she took the time to map out my inventory, accurately calculating the exact space I needed so I wouldn't overpay. She clearly explained all the security protocols, access details, and insurance options, leaving me with zero unanswered questions or hidden surprises.What stood out most was her attention to detail on move-in day. She made sure I had easy access to loading bays, explained how to navigate the corridors, and checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly. Her customer-first mindset, patience with my questions, and upbeat energy are rare to find these days. Safestore has a fantastic asset in Amy—she goes above and beyond, and I will absolutely be recommending this facility to friends and family.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Safestore Edinburgh Leith, all thanks to Amy. From the moment I walked in, she was incredibly welcoming, professional, and genuinely eager to help. She took the time to understand exactly what I needed and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Amy explained everything clearly, helped me choose the perfect storage option, and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with my decision. Her friendly attitude and attention to detail really stood out—it’s rare to find customer service this good. The facility itself is clean, secure, and well-organized, but it’s Amy’s exceptional service that truly made the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Safestore Edinburgh Leith to anyone, and Amy is a big reason why. Thanks again for such a great experience!
