Leith Local History Society has available a video that was made for us in 2002. It called "Persevere, The Spirit of Leith". It is a documentary about the past, present and people of Leith. It shows Leith's rich and colourful past and highlights Leith's importance and significance in the history of Scotland.

 

The video is currently available in VHS on both PAL format (for use in the UK, most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa) and NTSC format (for use in Canada, USA and some other countries.)  The cost is £7.00 including postage in the UK and £9.00 overseas.
