Sunshine on Leith - nostalgic memories of Edinburgh and Leith

Sunshine on Leith - nostalgic memories of Edinburgh and Leith

I put this "Sunshine on Leith" video together with my own photos during the lockdown while I was (am) feeling particularly melancholy about the prospects of being able to travel far and wide across these British Isles in the way I have had the fortune to do over the past 15 years. I make lots of jokes about Scotland and the "Scotch" but I don't mean it....well at least not for the most part 😉. I particularly love Edinburgh and have a particular affinity with Leith - the maritime Port of Edinburgh.....I love the atmosphere of the place, the smell of salt in the wind perhaps brings back memories of Dartmouth. The "Ship on the Shore" is one of my favourite restaurants, featured here in this video where, when I visit, I am welcomed like a long lost uncle !! If this is "it".....and I am not to visit again.....well, I find the prospect immensely depressing. I see this video and its highly appropriate music "Sunshine on Leith" as a sort of "requiem" if that doesn't seem to depressing (although I know it does !). Let's cheer up, enjoy the photos and this poignant song - "Sunshine on Leith" by The Proclaimers ! 😊
