Leith Custom House was built by Robert Reid between 1810-1812. It was the venue for the collection of duty payable on goods imported through Leith. The building is situated on Commercial Street. From the 1980s it was used as a storeroom by the National Museum of Scotland. It is currently managed by the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust and available for creative and artistic events.
