Description
The past and present of Leith revealed through its streets, buildings and people. From housing the Scottish Court under Mary of Guise in 1560, to being a site of civil war (twice), the arrival of George IV and becoming its own municipal burgh, Leith has witnessed many changes of fortune over the centuries. Although the area went into decline after WWII, Leith is thriving again today, with new retail, cultural and residential developments, and regeneration of its poorer areas. Fully illustrated with photography.
