Tycoon Farmer backs drive for Leith museum

Sir Tom, one of Leith's best known sons, has agreed to become the campaign's patron and said a museum for the area would benefit everyone locally.
He said: "The Leith Museum Group is made up of a cross-section of community, business and other representatives of the Leith community. Its campaign for a Leith museum has now been backed by more than 3000 people.
"The group will shortly be submitting funding applications for a number of interim projects towards its ultimate objective of securing the establishment of a museum for Leith."
Edinburgh North and Leith MP Lazarowicz said: "We are delighted to have this support from such a prominent Scottish businessmen and leading Leither.
"I know that Sir Tom has backed the idea of a Leith museum for some time."
