Merchant Navy Memorial
The light sandstone column
here, in front of the Malmaison Hotel at The Shore, Leith, is a newly
erected memorial (November 2010) to Merchant
Navy sailors and other sailors who have lost their lives in wartime and
peacetime.
It is appropriate that this
memorial has been installed close to the water of Leith, where Leith Inner
Harbour used to be, and in front of The Malmaison Hotel, formerly The
Seamen's Home, built in 1883 |
