Welcome to Leith

The "I Love Leith" partnership have commissioned a new "Welcome to Leith" sign, that is set to be formally unveiled by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Cllr George Grubb, at 11am on the 14th of September. The sign is to go at the old boundary between Leith and Edinburgh, on a pole outside Pilrig Church.

In case you were wondering, the symbols underneath the sign say "I Love Leith" in nautical flags. A neat touch we think.

Sadly, there's no evidence of any more amusing "Leith Twinned with..." japes, and we can't help but wonder whether the honorary Provost of Leith was invited!

Hopefully, the sign will be more permanent that other marketing attempts to brand Leith Walk.

Really like the sign and the signal flags below it.
