	Leith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leith is a town at the mouth of the Water of Leith and is the port of Edinburgh, Scotland.
		Leith bolsters its claim to being "the home of golf" because the official rules of golf, initially formulated at Leith in 1744 by the Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, were later adopted by St Andrews.
		Leith was the port of entry for the visit of King George IV to Scotland, and The Old Ship Hotel and King's Landing was then given its new name to mark the King's arrival by ship's boat at Leith Shore for this event which popularised symbols of Scottish national identity.

	The Story of Leith - XXXIII. How Leith was Governed
		The Leith people complained bitterly of a large portion of the town being unprovided with any local magistracy, and of the fact that, where there were bailies, the government of each was separate from and independent of the others.
		When Leith at last obtained its own Town Council, the right of electing the councillors lay with such of the citizens of Leith as were qualified to vote for a member of Parliament, the town being divided into wards for the purposes of the election.
		From the Reformation down to the beginning of the nineteenth century the kirk session of South Leith was the education authority of the town, maintaining two schools—a grammar school for higher education and a school for the poor where the children were taught to read the Scriptures.

	The Story of Leith - XXVIII. Leith Changing to Modern Times
		The establishment of manufactures in the Leith district at this time in face of the prejudices and privileges of the merchant and craft guilds was evidently an uphill task, and one which involved considerable financial risk, for insurance against fire was then unknown.
		Leith ships of any size, owing chiefly to the difficulty of obtaining the necessary supply of timber, were still built in Holland, and their equipment of sails, ropes, and cordage had to be imported from the same country, as in the days of James IV.
		Leith’s illicit trade with the Plantations did not compensate her for the loss of her trade with England, France, and the Netherlands.

		In 1329 control of it was given by Robert I to the Royal Burgh of Edinburgh and since then the two have grown together, steadily eating away at the mile or two of open land that once separated them.
		Leith and Edinburgh now blend seamlessly together, just a short ride apart on one of the many connecting buses or an invigorating walk away for those who enjoy exploring their cities on foot.

		Addressing an audience that had packed the menagerie and spilled into the hall, Leith was fondly remembered for his dedication to the university and the department of geological sciences.

		Although Ed Leith was by that time well into retirement, Elias remembers him as a fixture in the department; an endlessly passionate paleontologist who would still spend long hours both at the university and in the community, sharing his passion with children.

		The Tragedy Queen is a novel by a woman of a certain age, which runs the question "What do women want?" When love, marriage, and motherhood lets her down, this writer tell us, she wants independence and some respect—or sweet revenge.
		While some tend toward caricature, they are caricatures with interesting dimensions: the eccentric MacLoon, hounded from the neighborhood for his creepy "fl garden," the septuagenarian ex-stripper smoking Sobranies in her daughter's basement.
		Leith's most ambitious creation is Vince Carlson, disbarred lawyer, "fraud artist and sweetheart swindler," who returns to his old neighbourhood with traumatic memories, a fatal lust for the opera singer Jessye Norman, and a severe allergy to chevre and red wine.

		It was due to the position of both Leith and Edinburgh that made Edinburgh the Capital of Scotland and Leith the principal port for Scotland for several hundred years.
		Restalrig is about two-three miles from Leith and was home to the de Lestalric family and the Barons of Leith from the time of David I. So I don't think it is a great stretch of the imagination that a "h" was added in time to Leet to create Leeth and then Leith.
