Lived in the fort 1953. My father was a proud Scotsman and a soldier. My school was just around the corner ( if my memory serves me well) .....now I'm 77 time flies.😊

This is sad about nice bringing back so many memories as I was born

[@deblaw70]

Makes me so sad I had a wonderful childhood here, the history is incredible, it should still be here. Hey look at the Banana Flats they're still here 😮

I don't know why, but I liked Leith so much when being in Edinburgh. I even have a cup with Leith picture. I like music in your video.

I used to kick around the shore and junction street when I was younger - never went near the Fort as it had such a wild reputation, used to call it bandit country. I have no idea if the reputation was well earned but if even a fraction of the stories are true then it would have been pretty mental place to live.

I don't see anything wrong with those flats? I think with a small overhaul they would be lovely.
