Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second half of the 18th century saw the construction of the New Town of Edinburgh, to the north of the medieval burgh and across the Nor' Loch. During the first half of the 19th century, Edinburgh and Leith remained as two distinct communities. Leith only became a burgh in 1833 and remained so until it was formally integrated into Edinburgh in 1922. This book is based largely on contemporary newspapers and magazines, monumental inscriptions around Edinburgh, and a host of sources found in archives. The entries combine information on people who went abroad as well as those who remained in Edinburgh. The Scottish Enlightenment gave Edinburgh much of its international renown. Edinburgh became the capital of the Scottish professional classes, and it also was the center of publishing, banking, the Church, and insurance companies, as well as distinguished educational establishments. Transportation improvements, such as the Leith Docks, introduction of the railways, and construction of bridges within the city, enabled Edinburgh to expand. During the 19th century, the affluent would abandon the Old Town in favor of the New Town, the middle classes and the skilled workers moved out to the suburbs, while those who had no option remained in the Old Town. Leith functioned as the port of Edinburgh. The import-export trade initially was confined to western Europe but eventually became worldwide. Timber was imported from Scandinavia, grain from the Baltic, and wine from France and Spain, while coal from nearby coalfields was exported to Scandinavia and the Netherlands. Leith was famous for its glass and bottle-making works, brewing, distilling, and warehousing. Leith was also an important shipbuilding center, and many immigrant transports sailed from Leith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Town and Port of Leith: Its Historical Connection With the City of Edinburgh At what period Newhaven became noted for its Fisher population it would be difficult to tell. There is no doubt whatever it was at a very early period of its history. Tradition says that the Fisher folks came from Belgium. One thing is certain that they have kept them selves as a rule an exclusive race. The fishermen of N ewhaven rarely intermarry even with the women of other fishing communities. A woman must be well acquainted with the preparation of nets and lines, and the use of the oar, if she would become a thorough fisherman's wife. She must be able also to don the creel and attend markets, or make her usual rounds of calling for the purpose of disposing of the fishes her husband has caught. The Fishwife is the bargain-maker, and the con joint bread-winner. Hence it is no uncommon remark when one of the sisterhood, who is not reckoned an adept at the duties referred to, is reported to be about to be married She tak' a man! What wad she dae wi' a man? She canna keep (support) him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
