Archaeological dig at the Kirkgate in Leith
October 2023
About this memory
Open day tours of the archaeological survey between the Kirkgate and Coatfield Lane. The archaeology work was taking place after a section of 20th century social housing had been demolished and before new social housing takes its place. Evidence on the site showed that the area has been occupied since the 1600s.
