New chapter in story of city Boys' Brigade
FORMER members of a city boys' brigade are to write a book about the club to mark its 125th anniversary.
To celebrate the milestone, the club will produce the book to document the history of 1st Leith BB.
The Boys' Brigade was founded in October 1883 by Sir William Alexander Smith.
It is expected celebrations across the world will take place to mark the event, including several in Edinburgh.
The book will be titled The Story of the 1st Leith Company, The Boys' Brigade and will be unveiled at a reunion party on October 10 at the Leith BB memorial club on Ferry Road.
It is expected the book will also contain some old pictures of the club both in Leith and away at events. Spokesman for the Leith organisation Steve Mitchell said it would be the group's contribution to a wider memorial.
He said: "This book and re-union are in celebration of this year's 125th anniversary of the founding of the Boys' Brigade.
"Some events have already been staged across the world."
