359 Pat DenzlerLeith Links is home to the first written rules of golf in 1744 - a museum would be a major step in helping to highlight Leith's important role in the history of golf as well as Leith's many other achievements.
360 Jennifer HamiltonI was born in Leith and have lived in Leith all my life and seen the many changes. I think it would be wonderful to have a local museum so we can show the young and the new Leithers and any visitors how Leith has changed over the last 25 years and also to show how much Leith played a part in our idustrial history over the centuries.

366 Ian TelfordLeith deserves a museum which will appeal to both young and old, strengthen community links at a time of rapid social change, and will highlight Leith's important role in the history of Scotland as a whole. What better way to put it? Taken from the petition message above.

371 neil gardenMake a museum for leith please, its a very interesting place.
372 Grazyna FremiMuseum is very much needed, paintings and drawings representing 19th century Leith constantly turn up on the market and they should be preserved for the Leith heritage.

375 Tony LeachThe tourist attractions in Leith are a joke. It is almost beyond belief that there is no maritime museum for Edinburgh housed (logically) in Leith.
376 Jonathan KaneBorn, live and work in Leith. Love the place and the people. Love the banter!!!

384 Alastair HumeA wonderful thing it would be, to have the history of Leith shown to the public in Leith. Politicians get the finger out and make it so!

389 AnonymousLeith is rich with history.... we should have our own museum to show it all off
390 Paul GrantA worthy cause with all the potential to be a great addition to Leith.
391 AnonymousI fully support the creation of a museum in Leith
392 Alan Young
393 Isabel Drummond-Murray
394 Cat Macdonald-KeirVery good idea given Leith's history and enduring sense of community
395 Jan DawsonLeith has a strong identity and an important history, despite being swallowed up long ago by Edinburgh's urban sprawl. It deserves its own museum.
396 Eileen WallaceA community as ancient and important as Leith deserves its own museum representative of the special history of the area.
397 David Beresford
398 Alun RaeLeith's history deserves to be recognised.
