About
There were two distinct phases to the whaling industry in Leith. From 1616 until 1842 Leith whalers sailed to Arctic waters, mainly around Greenland. Although nowadays we view whaling with distaste, it was regarded as a valuable source of food oils and raw materials for industry. Whale oil was, for instance, used in the manufacture of margarine and soap. For many Leith people, whaling was a valuable source of employment till it ceased in 1963.

Find out why would this street find itself underground 400 years later. For years, the hidden Closes of Old Town Edinburgh have been shrouded in myths and mysteries, with blood curdling tales of ghosts and murders, and of plague victims being walled up and left to die. Research and archaeological evidence has revealed a truer story, rooted in fact and, as is so often the case – more fascinating than any amount of fiction.
