LEITH'S STORY - RETOLD. Stretching over 600 years our tale follows the fortunes of members of the Preston family. Wars and plagues, wealth and poverty, whales and witches, murders and monks. While around them Leith grows from a tiny fishing village, through the upheaval of the reformation into the industrial age to the modern day and beyond. Who can tell what is lost in the mists of time, maybe this is just how it happened.
