    Hi, if you check out the amateur boxing site in scotland, it has a list of all clubs. There are a couple of gyms there, but depends on where you stay? Just have a search in google, you'll find it easy enough

    Leith Victoria is beginner friendly on certain days...I went there for a few months last year before I broke my foot, which kept me out for a while, and I just haven't got back into it.

    It is at the bottom of Leith Walk!
