Dig for Victory allotments, created to feed the Capital during the Second
World War, have been saved under revised plans to create a new
waterfront park.
The
council has approved plans to turn a large part of Leith's industrial
heartland into a green corridor stretching from Leith Links to the
Firth of Forth.Scores of warehouses, yards and depots stretching from Salamander Street to the coast will be demolished for the project. The allotments on Leith Links were originally earmarked to be grassed over, with replacements created nearby, as they will stand in the middle of the newly-extended park.
