Expert Tip. Newington started life as an Edinburgh suburb built to house the burgeoning nouveaux riche of the early 1800s. There are lots of Georgian townhouses that were originally home to lawyers, bankers and merchants, but it's now a lively, student area with lots of pubs and restaurants. Places worth a visit include the Jewish Cemetery at Sciennes House Place.
