*****LEITH part of Edinburgh*****

by EdinburghRoc - last update: Jan 28, 2007

My home town seafaring Leith

BRITANNIA
The Water of Leith flows through Edinburgh and enters The Firth of Forth at Leith. We have the Royal Yacht Britannia which you can see here by the Shopping Mall at Ocean Terminal: Pubs; Restaurants, Cinema.
The SHORE Leith

The Shore Leith

The Shore down in Leith [Edinburgh' s Port] has pubs and restaurants.
A casino is near by + a hotel seen here in the photo.

Dine on board ship

The ship is also a restaurant.

This was where Mary Queen of Scots landed from France.
Water of Leith enters the docks.
Dusk falls on Leith's shore.

The Shore is a little different

New apartments are being built in Leith.

Here you can see a Martello Tower built to defend Leith from the French.

Leith is Edinburgh's Port

Like elsewhere the Docks have had their day.
Most of the docks are being built on with new housing.
This will be on going over many years.
Leith: Edinburgh's Port.
Casino

Gamble the night away

Anyone can play.
That means losing all your money!

BRITANNIA

Leith is the home of golf, which moved to St Andrews.
Leith welcomes passenger ships from around the world.
Its the home of Hibs football team

Its slowly becoming a modern seaport and home to many new people.
In short its growing!
BRITANNIA
Newhaven Lighthouse

Newhaven Lighthouse

The tiny harbour of Newhaven {Our Ladies Port of Grace}
Rests on the westend of Leith.
It has Pubs and Restaurants + a local museum.
