Just read an interesting article in the Edinburgh Evening News (28th June) to twin Leith with Rio. I was intrigued by Steve Cardownie’s comments” Leith Festival which is now established as one of Britain’s community festivals” Ingleston market was renowned as the biggest outdoor market in the world, now its a car boot sale. Maybe a number of years ago the Leith Festival could fall into a category to be proud of. Perhaps Cardownie has been drinking too much of the old amber nectar, and Sandy Campbell wants to fund his globe trotting adventures to Rio by screwing the money out of the good people of Leith.
