Spotted on flagstone near entrance to South #Leith Parish Church. Any ideas why ‘box’ is carved into this stone? @cocteautriplets

Please support our neighbouring #community group to preserve and safe Western Harbour pond, a very rare wildlife haven with a huge variety of #wildlife #plant #insect species that contribute a great deal to #biodiversity in a busy urban area of #Edinburgh. RT appreciated.

Great news! Though the initial deadline is now passed, £eith Chooses has extended the open period for applications until 24 October. Get yours in now to participate in this great community event, and hopefully win funding up to £5,000.
📚 Looks like an interesting read 🤓 The Dark Streets of Leith: A fascinating history of crimes committed during the 19th Century, either in ... amzn.eu/d/iRHJhZN
Impressive headstone in South #Leith Parish graveyard. It's about 5' tall. Were carters typically wealthy back in the 1770s? Here Lye | the Remains | of | ROBERT CAULDCLEUGH | Carter in Leith | who died 20th May 1772 | Aged 69 Years

Good news - the long-delayed phase 2 (central decking + painting) of @forthports' #Leith Victoria Bridge renovations starts today. It could take up to 6 months to complete. #properjob
How much of Old Leith is still standing? This snippet from Old Leith Rediscovered shows how much of 1890s #Leith remains (in pink) and how much has been lost (in blue). To see the full scale of the destruction of Old Leith, go to oldleith.org/buildings/ & click 'demolished'
Old Leith Rediscovered - an interactive history using maps of Charles Goad enriched with photos, newspaper clips, reminiscences & info clips about old #Leith. In association with @natlibscot and @ThelmaScotland and @HeritageFundUK youtube.com/watch?v=f_uvij…
Got a few hundred quid to spare? You could do worse than bid on this rare copy of McGonagall's ode to the The Ancient Town of #Leith, which will be under the hammer @LyonandTurnbull on 8 Feb (lot 108). True to form, it's wonderfully awful! @SirWmMcGonagall
#Leith 1924 Magazine - available at The Wee Museum of Memory and The Wee Hub, Ocean Terminal. Cost £5. Featuring images of Leith from 1924, it tells the amazing story of photographs which travelled around the world & passed onto The Spirit of Leithers by the late Frank Ferri.
This view up Couper St, #Leith always astounds me with its wild mix of building styles. Some might call it a guddle.
Confirmed as what is now Martin Wishart’s by @oldleith1
Capital Collections have assembled this lovely online exhibition to mark the 90th anniversary of the opening of #Leith library. 📚 @TalesOfOneCity capitalcollections.org.uk/view-item?i=52…
Opening of @leithacademy and Technical College, @edinburghpaper, 21 Oct 1898 #leith
