| 501 | Lyn Kane | I am 1/2 of a partner team currently running Roseleaf bar cafe in Leith with my husband Jonny. We will be keeping an avid eye on the progress of a local museum and will be happy to help in anyway. Finances are a wee bit tight but will be looking to financially contribute in the New Year. |

| 503 | Ron Chisholm | With such a rich historical past it is amazing that Leith does not have its own dedicated museum. |

| 513 | Grant Collie | as an ex-pat Museum Consultant who spent his formative years developing a love of heritage and beer in Leith, I fully support the idea of a social history museum in Leith. |

| 515 | Carol Stewart | Social history provides a means of celebrating the lives of ordinary people and illustrating their contributions to society. A Leith museum is essential in order to preserve existing memories and artifacts for future generations and to enhance Leith as an important local centre of Scottish heritage. I am delighted to offer my support to this excellent campaign. |

| 518 | Bonita Russell | PERSEVERE - The Leith Motto says it all, to persist in anything undertaken; maintain a purpose in spite of difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement; continue steadfastly. If we all PERSEVERE, a MUSEUM we shall have. |

| 531 | Dr Morris Bradley | So much history has happened in and around leith and the Firth of Forth that a museum would surely be a success with both local people and visitors.
The site is ideal, with views over the inner harbour and son et lumiere displays would be very easy to mount using the museum as a prominent feature. |

| 535 | Robbie Bushe | I am now in my third stint in living in Leith which started in 1989 and I keep returning after periods living away from Scotland. It is one of the few places within Edinburgh (or beside Edinburgh as it is still so distinct) which has kept its own identity and sense of community while radical change has occured - it is a living cultural, economic and social community and deserves a museum to celebrate the past and present. As a educator in tjhe visual arts I know how important this would be to both the traditional people of Leith and those that have moved here.
Best of luck with the Campaign |

| 538 | Lucinda Byatt | Since the closure of the Newhaven Museum, a museum for the whole of the Leith community is well overdue. Its historic links with continental Europe deserve to be highlighted. |

| 542 | Rosemary Tolmie | There used to be a small museum at Newhaven Harbour . Might it be included in a Leith Museum ?Perhaps the people of Newhaven might not like that! |
| 543 | David Barnes | Great plan. |
| 544 | Martin Hinds | A Leith Museum is long overdue. Good Luck! |

| 546 | Anonymous | I was born in Leith and no matter where in the world I was I always returned home to Leith.
I have met people in Japan, San Francisco, Italy and Los Angeles, all when asked where we were from said Leith, as my friend in
San Francisco say’s Leith first Edinburgh second.
I strongly believe that customs house would make a wonderful museum. I have off course personal reasons about that.
As I played outside the building when I was very small and some off my mother’s family worked in the building her name was Muriel Webster (Hart)
Leith is one off the oldest ports in the U.K. every one who was anyone has landed there from kings and queens to John Paul Jones, who was born in Scotland,
He fought for the American Revolution.
He also attacked Whitehaven port in England? But they all got so drunk; that the attempt had to be abandoned.
Please vote for this museum we really need it so we can all find out about this very rich history that Leith has.
Plus it would be a shame that one of what was once one of the busiest little ports in the U.K. doesn’t just disappear |
