So many memories of the auld place. Streets that could tell tales.

Interesting sights, and nice music too.

It looks like a miserable cold place. Like Paisley. Paisley is still shite how is Leith now?

Brilliant so many memories happy days .

Great pictures of young leith children sadley bare foot but tough and look happy enough . so glad we can appreciate them and the camera being invented .noticed afew pictures have been edited, fascinated by the girl pictured who was she I wonder .thanks

Can anyone who knows Leith tell me if Portland Place is shown in any part of this video please?

That was real poverty.

The photo at 2:37 brought back memories. In the early sixties, I was a member of the East of Scotland Clarion cycling club based in the Kirkgate. Our clubrooms were directly above Burton the Tailor. That property is long gone but, at least, Trinity House is still standing.

A lot of kids with nae shoes oan I noticed

Thank you from an American.

A lot of children. They are the age of my parents.

Precious photos !!!! Thank you for your work !!!!

Lovely photos !!! There is magic !!! Smiling faces of people so sweet !!!!

What a proud to wear a tartan ! I'm mexican, but I'm in love all about scottish ! I would like to be one !

2.29 The girl looking out of the broken window frame fascinates me and what life brought her.

How many people will remember in fifty years that we had trams the twenties?

What is the earliest photo of Easter Road Stadium?

I love it. I wonder if, as a community, we could buy the land in front of the houses/offices at the Foot of the Walk and make it a community space in an urban setting where pedestrians rule...

Me encantó. ♡

I'm a Mcintosh through my mother and grandmother so interesting

Finlayson

I was at school with classmates like that. They took it away and gave us, 'A better life.' 'New lamps for old..'

Makes me wish I was Scottish, sort of.

Absolutely beautiful ❤️ thank you ❤️🥰😍🙏

Haunting faces, love the music, what is it, does anyone know?

Where is it. What country

Leith nowadays is like living in a foreign country.

Depressing. You can tell this is after the reset when the parasites took over.

Keep history alive..these pictures speak a thousand words..this is my ma and Das Era..they sprung from Glasgow tenements ..tough rough strong salt of the earth people..hard life's...these children lived through depressions wars ..hunger..extreme cold..still beautiful smiling faces...

Love this! How touching …these people in our neighbourhood (not even so long ago) had it pretty tough by the looks but they stuck together and were just getting on with it and smiling too ❤️

👍❤️🙏

Thank you for the excellent photographs parts one and two from Leith, some exceptional images, you choice of music complements so well.

Fascinating! Thank you. I also love the music and would love to know the title and pianist, please.

So many little ones with no shoes, hope their lives improved when older, though hardly likely given such hard times.

WILL PEOPLE WATCH OUR FILMS JUST LIKE WE WATCH THESE? WE WILL NEVER KNOW

Thanks ! I really enjoyed this !

Some people back then were so poor and couldn't afford shoes , my stepdad who died a few years ago at 94 years of age , told me that when he was growing up he was so poor he used to pick up snails to eat them ? I could never fathom out if he was serious or just joking .

I lived in Kirk Street at the foot of the walk for nearly ten years.

My family line is from Ferguson, Campbell, and Bruce for the most part. A lot of Scot and Ulster-Scots. The Fergusons came over in the mid-1850's.

I am from the McKay clan.

This must be the white privilege that the blacks are always going on about?

Born in Leith, i still live here. It's a very different place now and not all in a good way. I preferred the old Leith.

Good video.

I am , found to be the 22 great granddaughter of Sir John of Elderslie and he’s the brother of William Braveheart Wallace! I don’t know my tartan. I was so happy to know I was a descendant of Braveheart! Then I knew why I was tall and felt like swinging a broadsword and that I am committed to doing what I believe in. DNA 🧬 even that far is what makes us who we are. I love the idea perhaps I can go to see Scotland.

Not true most tartans werent invented till 1800s, lowland families traditionally didnt have kilts and are only called clans due to an act of parliment

Used to like wearing a kilt, but dont anymore due to the hijacking of tartan by the SNP

Lol, family tartan was invented and romanticised by Queen Victoria. Before this we all just wore whatever was cheapest.

So Amazing! My father's side is Fraser and my mother's Graham. Just love being born in Scotland
