Would like to see gilmerton and morden,where the old counncil houses were,small houses when to went to primary school and the taller buildings when to went to liberton high school.they demolished that school,they moved the school down a bit.😊,how are you?
Thanks for that Tony. We've stayed in Leith and Newhaven many times over the years but have never visited Leith Links. We love the Meadows and the Links seem to have that sort of vibe. We will check it out someday 👍
Don't stop rambling! They are an integral part of your videos. Always interesting always fun and the perfect antidote to dreary Saturdays. Keep safe and well.👍👍
Mentioned it before ...but, I love Leith! 💙 and it's true! When I visit and people ask, I say, 'I'm going to Leith, Edinburgh' bc there is a distinction 😉 Lovely history lesson, Tony hello from Denmark 🌸 🌱
I was born at Elbe Street Leith which is only minutes away from Leith Links I left Leith when I was 18 months old but went to Leith Academy when I was 12 Hated that school 🏫 but enjoyed lunch times in the links 😀 My eldest brother was born in Gt Junction Street Leith My parents moved to Elbe Street when my brother was 2 so that would be 1931 My brother was19 when we all left Leith he so loved that place My brother ( walt ) died in 2018 his family 👪 scattered his ashes 😢 in North Berwick dont no why as Leith held seriously happy memories for him i think he would have wanted to be scattered in the links 😀 In 1939 the water of Leith froze over my brother and his pal went walking 🚶♂️ on the ice 🧊 The ice caved in and they ended up very wet and cold but they both lived to tell the tale Its a pity Walt is not around he knew Leith so well
So funny Tony I was seeing the mounds in the background, in my head I was thinking Iron Age mound fort or motte and bailey in an otherwise very flat park, never occurred to me it might be plague burial mounds. Enjoyed the video
Also as well their a legend in East Lothian. About Sawney Bean he was a cannibal or the say grew up in ayrshire. 16th Century 1500s to 1600s he had Clan.
That’s my neighbourhood!! When were you doon? Next time you’re gonna be in the area, pop over for a brew, we can have a chat about collaborating if you fancy?
I assumed with it being called Leith Links that it would be a golf course.

Hey Tony and Clan ❤️ From what I've read about the mounds in Leith Links, they were made as batteries during battle 👌
Love the dramatics! Lol! Thank you Tony.
Nice ... green space is awsome.
I think through your videos I have gotten more history lessons on Scotland than I grew up with in the US. These are great. Keep them coming.
Always love your stories about Edinburgh Tony. You do all us Edinburghers a great service. Keep up the great work, all the best, David 😃
