As a born and bred Leither and proud of it I was horrified by the success of Trainspotting. I had only seen the film dubbed in Spanish. However yesterday, 13th March I joined one of Tim\'s Trainspotting tours and it was an enlightening experience. Putting the book into is socio political context, changes that had taken place in my own life time while living in Leith helped me enormously, so much I am now going to read the book now that I understand why it is called Trainspotting. I hadn\'t been aware of the plans for Leith Station and was sad to learn of its loss and the potential it had as something iconic.
