36 Shore
Edinburgh, Scotland EH6 6QU
The Kings Wark is situated by the waters of ‘The Shore’ – which for many centuries was the trading centre of Leith. Built in 1434, it has a history few pubs can rival. The Kings Wark was originally designed as a Royal residence, store house and private armoury for James I, but has also served as a smugglers hut, plague hospital, weigh house and a retail and wine merchant. Recognising its importance, the building was rebuilt by Queen Mary of Scotland after being mostly destroyed in the Hertford Invasion in 1544.
