Hello friends! It's been on my mind for some time to create a collection of mini Edinburgh neighbourhood guides. One reason I've put this off for so long is that there are already so many wonderful Edinburgh guides! So, I’m treating this series of blogs as if I were replying to a friend who asked for my recommendations in a specific Edinburgh neighbourhood.
A Local's Guide to Leith
For those who enjoy a little background, Leith was an independent burgh
until it merged with Edinburgh in 1920 (much to the outrage of Leithers
who voted 26,810 to 4,340 against the merger) and, for many centuries, it was Scotland's premier port and home to a wide variety of flourishing
industries including shipbuilding, flour milling and biscuit making.
