leith docks now [http://www.flickr.com/photos/philipmack/3162134141/] -- Seen in your Hill & Adamson set. (?)

This photograph is part of the Indicommons.org then-and-now feature Ships at the Leith Docks.

The earlier links to recent pictures no longer work. But here's one of a Tall Ships event in 1995.
and a link to a collection of old photos at www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_a_l/0_around_edinburgh_-_leith_doc...

Obviously, it was a COOL August.

Striped socks must have been the fashion then!

There are officially a few brilliant beards in this photo. wow

What a fabulous find. Please not EVERY man in this shot is wearing a waistcoat. The horizontal striped stockings are a bit much for my taste but then I never was one to follow the fashion of the moment.

Who's that looking through the window... oowww...

so wonderful to see these images from days long gone

It is interesting to see this photographic documentation of the late 19th century roots of what we in America now think of as an Appalachian ribbed melon basket. No doubt this functional rib framed basket type has even earlier origins. It is a basketmaking tradition which Scottish basket makers most likely brought with them as they immigrated to America. Thank you for posting it.

so beautiful the picture and the girl....who was her, how was her life????????????????

She looks happy...

cute girl
