I am doing a Shore Walk from Carrier’s Quarters pub (Bernard Street) from 6.30 pm on Thursday 9 May. We should be back in the pub within the hour. Most of it will be a general introduction to the core of Leith, but outside Shore Bar I won’t resist reading from the sequel to Trainspotting (can’t put the title online ‘cos it might filter out the whole site) p268/9. That’s the bit when Sick Boy turns the heat on Paul Keramalandous, the treasurer of Leith Businesses Against Drugs Forum, of which Sick Boy is a founding member! Never mind the history – let’s stick with fiction. Why don’t you string along?
