The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement that Leith is ranked fourth in the world's 50 coolest neighbourhood rankings for 2021; notes that Leith has jumped 20 places in the three years since world travel magazine Time Out ranked it as the 24th coolest neighbourhood in the world in 2018; further notes that it placed above popular areas in New York, London, Tokyo and Sydney; understands that the travel magazine and online publication creates its annual world rankings by polling 27,000 city dwellers worldwide on their favourite neighbourhoods, and having Time Out global editors and writers rank locations according to their community spirit, quality of food, drink and nightlife, culture and sustainability efforts, and encourages those outside Leith to make a visit and sample the rich culture Leith has to offer.
