In 1560, Mary of Guise relocated the Scottish Court to Leith, a location that is now known as Parliament Street, off Coalhill. Leith's port, which served Edinburgh's shipbuilding and repair facilities, saw the opening of a new Wet Dock in the following centuries, which was the first of its kind in Scotland. Leith has had a long and prominent role in Scottish history. As the primary port serving Edinburgh, it has been the stage on which many significant events have taken place. From housing the Scottish Court to witnessing civil war, being the port of call for royal arrivals, and becoming its own burgh, Leith has seen it all. Leith Reflections showcases an exciting collection of historic and modern pictures that are individually merged to reveal how the area has changed over the decades. Each of the 180 pictures in this book combines a recent color view of Leith with the matching sepia archive scene. Through the split-image effect, readers can see how streets, buildings, the docks, and everyday life have transformed with the passing of time. Local authors Jack Gillon and Fraser Parkinson present this fascinating visual chronicle that ingeniously reflects past and present glimpses of Leith. This book will be of interest to residents, visitors, local historians, and all those with links to the area.
