Last weekend Marc and I spent a day wandering around Leith. It is a very interesting area; it is where the port of Edinburgh is, so it has been a very industrialized, poor area. However being at the water front, there has been a recent movement to turn it into a high end touristy place. So as you drive in you have old, brick industrial style buildings with things like crematoriums, large factories, and even a massive humane society. Then you get to where the HMS Britannica is, and you have new apartment complexes, a small boardwalk, and a large shopping mall. It is an interesting social project and should have a lot of change in the next few years.
