Description
Stephen Millar returns to explore Edinburgh, its neighbouring Leith and the 'tribes' that reside there. In the book, he discusses how the groups came to be and where they are going. From the Morningside Ladies to the Speculative Society, from the Leith Dockers to the Knights Templar, accompanying photos by Alan McCredie bring these tribes to life.
