Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
Kirkgate in Leith continues north from the northern end of Leith Walk. It was redeveloped in the mid 1960s to form a pedestrianised area including a shopping centre and housing, as shown in this photograph. Further redevelopment has taken place since. Vestiges of the old Kirkgate remain in the form of South Leith Parish Church and Trinity House, both dating from the first half of the 19th century.
