      Do you remember the cult film “Trainspotting”? The film was bordering on tolerable, or so I remember (some would argue that I'm being squeamish); It takes up the experiences of a group of young Scots in Edinburgh marked by drugs, unemployment and crime. The gang lives in Leith, once Edinburgh's waterfront district. Wikipedia writes: "In the middle of the 20th century, the port became increasingly less important and became an area of poverty. Drugs, prostitution and AIDS gave the once thriving city a bad reputation. Leith was the place in Britain where AIDS was most common among children." The backdrop for the book and film...

      Today Leith is a hip district that attracts creative people and young people. Admittedly, you can't see it in the photos (they're a bit selective). But this evening I was sitting in a pub that used to be a harbor lock.
