My father used to take me for walks around the docks on Sundays in the 50's. I learned a lot about the World from talking to all the different nationalities. Memories that opened my eyes
As a teenager in the early to mid 70s even I see a big change in Leith Docks, to me it looks like the ships then were like Dinky toys compared to the ships I see now which are like Tonka toys by comparison !!

Wonderful memoir of leith docks
My father worked in the docks for most of his working life - was known as Jack and was a Sworn Metre and Weigher.
Great video but why was the last man talking about dollars? We are in Scotland.
