St Mary's Star of the Sea

	The church is situated near the Firth of Forth, in Leith. The Presbytery stands in its own grounds directly opposite. Date founded : 1847. Date built : 1952.
Leith was once a thriving port for the city of Edinburgh, and in common with many ports, the docks are now going through a programme of regeneration. Leith is now the largest waterfront development in Europe; and is also home to the Royal Yacht Britannia. The church was designed in 1854 by the architects Pugin & Hansom in the Gothic style.
