In this episode we chat with a church planter and football chaplain working in the heart of Edinburgh. Be inspired by his approach to multiplying churches by sharing life and faith with individuals in a busy and cosmopolitan city. Derek Lamont has been a pastor for 33 years, 22 of them in the centre of Edinburgh, with the Free Church of Scotland. His current church, St Columba's, has planted four new churches in different communities of the city. He will be leaving St C's in January to re-plant a Gospel church at the foot of Leith Walk. Derek is married to Catriona with four grown-up kids - two of whom live in America, the other two are married and work for churches in Edinburgh.

Sir Eduardo Paolozzi may not be familiar to lots of our listeners, but his sculpture , the Manuscript of Monte Cassino may be. The big foot and hand at the top of Leith Walk are well known to both tourists and residents alike. Fiona Menzies, an archivist from the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art joined Maria to reveal some interesting facts about this Scottish artist who inspired many, including Andy Warhol.   If you want to know more - there is a huge amount of information on the Gallery's website.

Brian Malloch and Phillip Logan run local independent shop, Logan Malloch, which is at the bottom of Leith Walk. In this episode, we speak to Bri about how he and Phillip quit their day jobs to start a business of their own - including renovating the shop which is part of the old Leith train station. Originally from Lochee, Dundee, Bri tells us all the things he loves about Leith - including other local businesses like Borlands, Bijou, Kilted Donuts, Concrete Wardrobe, Destined for Home and Logan Malloch's next door neighbour, The Central Bar. The statues in the Water of Leith that Keira talked about are sculptures by the Turner Prize winning artist Antony Gormley.

In this podcast I’m delighted to be joined by Monty Roy who owns and runs the Leith Walk Police Box. Monty told us all about her journey with the police box, and how it became the wonderful community pop up space that it is now. She also shared how she uses Facebook and Instagram. And I shared some ideas about how to create exciting new content on social media - even when you're talking about the same subjects over and over again!
