Today we went on a field trip to the Edinburgh City Archives. Located at the bottom level of town hall, this dusty treasure trove of old ledgers and manuscripts is a researchers dream. We have been separated into three groups and assigned a specific area of Edinburgh to research. Our area is Leith- a neighboring burgh of Edinburgh that was incorporated into the city limits in 1920. The goal is to present how the area has changed throughout a 100 year period and the best evidence of this can be seen walking the streets through the virgin eyes of a tourist- perfect!
