Featuring interviews
with local historians and ‘worthies’, 'Persevere'
covers the origins of the Port, the Seige of Leith,
its connections with Mary, Queen of Scots, John Paul
Jones and George IV. Leith's contributions to golf and
football are also explored as is the Port's long and
tempestuous relationship with the City of Edinburgh,
an issue that has particular poignancy today given Leith's
current battle to retain it's own identity.
This thoroughly researched and imaginatively
written film is an ideal introduction to Leith, from
its immensely rich and colourful past, right up to its
vibrant present day and highlights the Port's importance
and significance in the history of both Scotland and
the world.
