Edinburgh Special
Port workers, pub fights and poetry - Mark Steel is in Leith, Edinburgh, to see what makes it so distinctive. From 2012.

He's uncovering stories and characters making up a unique corner of Scotland's capital 鈥� where else but Leith!
Taking tales from the history, highways, and Hibs legends - not to mention the port workers, pub fights, and poetry - join Mark and his audience of born and bred Leithers.
A special one-off episode of Mark's award-winning stand-up comedy show.
From the 蜜芽传媒's Potterow venue for the Edinburgh Festival.
