Manage episode 314704430 series 3291593
In this episode, we speak to Alasdair and Cyria Scott, who own the famous flagpole on Pilrig Street - well known for flying a variety of flags for different causes and from all over the world. A New Yorker and a Scotsman, Cyria and Alasdair tell us what brought them to Leith. They talk about renovating the manse they bought on Pilrig Street, and share an amazing amount of local history and information. The Leith businesses and places we discussed include Blake metal group, the Leith Whisky Bond, Central Bar, South Leith Parish Church, the Golden Ambal, and the brilliant butcher on Albert Street, Graham Cherrie. You can follow their different flags on Twitter @PilrigFlag.
