Thanks also to @hi_spiltmilk for pointing this out. @_CitizenCurator has been looking for a photo of Grace for months. She lived at 145 Leith Walk, which became a refuge for many notable Suffrage campaigners, including Ethel Moorhead on her release from prison in Calton Jail.
This may be too late (! ) but browsing on a Friday afternoon in @NatGalleriesSco Portrait Archive I found a photo of Grace Cadell 🤩 📷 by Leith Walk photographer John Campbell Harper

From the ever informative @TheBEFS newsletter and @scotgov research 'Rent affordability in the affordable housing sector’, Perhaps not unsurprising to note that #Edinburgh registers the highest social rents across #Scotland gov.scot/publications/rent-a…

Great account from our young mums at the Citadel. Take 5 minutes to read it online. These mums are all hero's in my eyes.

'the central spine of [industrial] units also appears to follow the Water of Leith, suggesting some of the land was in earlier industrial uses such as distilleries, mills and tanneries'
