This is another idea along these lines. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wa...-welsh-2731149 My grandparents' house in Edinburgh backs onto the Water of Leith - it (the house) has a raft-type foundation. My memories of Leith are from My fathers ship being in dock there, and depending on which way the wind was blowing you had the smell from the distillery, from the sewage on the beach or a pile of old car tires that were always burning. That was in the 50's You'd find the Leith waterfront unrecognisable now! Full of yuppie wine bars... My granny's younger brother captained a small merchant vessel which often docked in Leith. |
