Now you *have* to come along... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 LeithAs one who has lived in leith for 18 years thats quite a fairly average tale, but heres my favorites - strange how they mostly have to do with leith walk....1) about 4 years ago the owner of the mermaid chip bar (bottom of leith walk) cut of his penis and deep fat fried it before being arrested and wisked of to some suitable mental assylum (what happened to the fried penis, no one knows - yum)2) The Cowboy - a man who always roams the streets of leith walk in full cowboy uniform asking for wiskey and shooting you with his imaginary guns (this may be related to the penis story)3) In a slightly grimmer term there was the beheaded man found in the water of leith around 1-2 years ago but he had a penis i think...Hope the gig went well!

Chris Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I love Leith. A friend of mine lived there for 3 years and we had some great weekends in the area.One of the best moments was a pub crawl which started in the wanky new pubs down at the waterfront and slowly snaked it's way back to Leith Walk. We were walking around North Junction Street trying to find our next pub when we happened upon somewhere called The Vine. This place hadn't been done up since the 70s and if I recall correctly may not even have had a womens toilet. And all the customers had Begbie moustaches, even the women.However instead of killing us as we expected, the locals took it upon themselves to lose graciously at pool and take it in turns to tell us stories and jokes until we left about 2 hours later. Great afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
