So - living in Leith and so proud to be part of it, we decided we would take part in this festival.
Let me tell you IT WAS AWESOME! The true character and culture of Leith came out. Below are a few pictures and videos of our experience with the Leith Festival.
Leith Gala- I have never seen so many people in Leith. The Gala was full of food, music, booths and loads of Leith-ness. |
We helped out at a Jumble Sale at the Primary School. It was great fun and time to hang out with our newest neighbours Drew and Christine. :) |
Lorne Primary Summer Fair! This is literally a 1minutes walk from our flat and we have come to know lots of families in the area and the children who attend the school :) |
Leith Tatto was the closing event. Mass Pipers and drums was my favourite. |
Little Highland dancers! They were adorable. |
There is something amazing about the sound of bagpipes. |
There were even belly dancers at the tattoo, yet again a reminder of the multi-cultural community of Leith. |
We had a great time celebrating with our Leith friends and community. We should do it again! LIke next month! So much fun and so much to still learn.
