Leith's Forgotten Wars

As part of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, Trinity House is opening its doors to discover how war has shaped the story of Leith through the 16th to 18th centuries.

Join us for a guided walk starting from the Leith Community Croft (4 John's Place, Edinburgh EH6 7EL) on the west side of Leith Links, proceeding via South Leith Parish Church to Trinity House. How has war shaped the story and layout of Leith? How did France, England and America all fight over Leith?
