The text says 'The mid-nineteenth century scene. These are the picturesque frontages that should have been preserved.'
Despite the construction of new docks in Leith early in the 19th century, in 1850 The Shore was still a busy trading centre rather than the mainly social area, with many popular pubs and restaurants, it has become in recent years.
