Description
Discover Leith's rich history through old and new images in this fascinating exploration of Scotland's former port.
In 1560, Leith became the site of the Scottish Court, marking a significant turning point in its long and storied past. The port has played host to numerous historic events, including civil war and royal arrivals, as it evolved from a major shipbuilding and repair facility to a thriving commercial centre.
Today, Leith is once again part of Edinburgh, with recent regeneration efforts improving the area's poorer districts. This book takes you on a journey through Leith's transformation over the years, showcasing its evolution from a humble port to a vibrant community.
