The Forth ward in the City of Edinburgh, Scotland sits on the northern edge of the city facing the Firth of Forth. It combines coastal and post‑industrial seafronts with residential streets, and recent regeneration around areas such as Granton has brought new housing, leisure facilities and improved waterfront access.
There’s a strong local community character rooted in maritime and fishing histories, alongside parks and riverside walking routes and decent transport links into the centre. The ward’s mix of longstanding neighbourhoods and contemporary development gives it a varied social and economic profile.
