Leith and The Shore, Edinburgh: No talking just walking #leith #edinburgh #scotland

Video recorded by Luke Honeythunder on Thursday September 28th 2023 during a visit to Leith / Edinburgh / Scotland. It was my 1st visit to Leith and the 1st time riding on the Edinburgh Trams . . . . . all day Tram ticket cost £5, a bargain. Leith is a port area in the north of Edinburgh, Scotland, founded at the mouth of the Water of Leith. The earliest surviving historical references are in the royal charter authorising the construction of Holyrood Abbey in 1128 in which it is termed Inverlet (Inverleith). After centuries of control by Edinburgh, Leith was made a separate burgh in 1833 only to be merged into Edinburgh in 1920. Leith is located on the southern coast of the Firth of Forth and lies within the City of Edinburgh council area; since 2007 it has formed one of 17 multi-member wards of the city. Come with me on a fabulous walk around Leith and The Shore, Edinburgh #leith #edinburgh #scotland #theshore
