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!

It is at 28 Academy Street

Tues, Thurs, Sun, 7:00

Monday/Wednesday speedwork ( usually at Meadowbank Stadium/ Arthurs seat.

Fri 7:00 (Famales only)

Get off the couch:lol:
