Life in Old Leith. Trade Union procession day, Leith Quayside 1900.
Between 1888 and 1918 Unions grew at a faster rate than at any other time in their history, membership was roughly 750,000 at the beginning of the period and rising to 6,500,000 in 1918.
Leith is situated in the north of Edinburgh where the Water of Leith joins the Firth of Forth. It has acted as Edinburgh's maritime connection for many centuries, and continues to be one of the UK's busiest ports. It was incorporated into Edinburgh in 1920 having previously been a separate burgh. It is now home to the Scottish Executive's main offices, Edinburgh's Sikh temple, the Royal Yacht Britannia and Ocean Terminal, a large shopping and entertainment complex.
