Views of Leith Hospital
The images below come from a book called “A Beacon in our Town” “The Story of Leith Hospital” by Christine Hoy which tells of the establishment of the first hospital in the 15th century to the closure of Leith Hospital in the 1980’s. It is a very well written book which should not only be read by anybody who consider themselves a Leither but by anyone who cares about health and medicine in Scotland. However there is more because this hospital gave hope to many and left a huge legacy to the people of Leith and a very great inspiration to many
