Document
The Society of High Constables of Leith is one of four societies in Scotland, the others being Edinburgh, Holyrood and Perth. Their duties are ceremonial now, but they acted as a police force when they were founded in 1563, with the Leith society working against piracy and smuggling as well as general crime.
