One of the world's best known ships, the Royal Yacht Britannia sailed over a million miles on 968 official voyages to almost every part of the globe and is now moored in Leith, where she has become one of Edinburgh's major attractions.

A mysterious shrouded figure appears on a plinth as works at Picardy Place move towards completion.

From Constitution Street in #Leith to Elm Row, other reappearances have been recorded. Burns, time, pigeons...

Could this be one for #SherlockHolmes?

#Leith gentrification - it's not all trams and Michelin stars | HeraldScotland

Good reflection on changes, what's driving them, and the winners and losers.

It fits what I see from my first period living here 25+ yrs ago, to the last 10 years since coming back.

Those sweet rotund pigeons of Elm Row are home to roost. They're so angry about their lengthy exile, that for now they are caged in for the sake of public safety.

Leith’s ‘Good Time’ Is A Song Of Liberation #2023_08_04 #clash_magazine #robin_murray #news #leith

Last night, the gods of #Leith offered the omen of a shining tower and rainbow against a dark sky.

I woke today full of ideas for the presentation and paper I'm working on.

Mere coincidence, I think not!

An avid admirer of the sky. Leith Links, Edinburgh. #edinburgh #leith #scotland #theSky

The Dog House bar on Leith Walk - Nae Bams! #leith #naebams

Last night I got to do some unexpected new track. I am staying at the Leith Waterfront Premier Inn, and a couple of weeks ago, they finally opened the section of Edinburgh trams that goes there. #Leith #Trams #TrackBasher

The Scottish government's migration and refugees minister Emma Roddick said: "We have made clear to the UK government that vessels are not suitable accommodation for people seeking asylum.

"Housing asylum seekers in vessels cannot be compared with their use to temporarily accommodate displaced people from Ukraine because of fundamental differences in terms of their rights and agency."

Loving the fact that the skies have opened while The Proclaimers blast out Sunshine on #Leith over at Leith Links

Feeling delighted 'cos my favourite person made me a collage of #Leith

Can't work out if this is late lunch or early dinner... either way, aaaaah!

Tried out the new tram from #Leith at around 8 am this morning. 10 minutes from Foot of the Walk to St Andrew's square, busy but with some seats available. Great to have this new connection to the city centre, rail station, business parks and airport, as well as to Napier University. And it's only around 300m from my front door.

Happy Tram Day, Leithers!!!

I feel like I’m on some Facebook groups strictly to troll the anti-15-minute-city crowd and others who view LTNs and Trams as direct attacks on their entire family history for the last 700 years.

I mean, you have to be able to stomach key phrases like “WEF” and “Clowncil” … but it’s a small price to pay sometimes.

Playing a gig tonight with my klezmer band at Leith Depot. 7.30pm kick off. £5 minimum suggested donation - pay more if you can! - all proceeds to the UCU Edinburgh hardship fund, helping members who are on 50% pay for taking part in industrial action. #edinburgh #edinburghgigs #leith

This is incredible. An anonymous comment in a Facebook group for #Leith #Edinburgh in which someone suggests gathering to pledge public allegiance to the King for the #Coronation . 255 reactions in the hour - all laughter emoji. Every. Single. One.
