The unincorporated village of Leith , named after Leith , Scotland , is located on the eastern shore of the Owen Sound, an inlet Sound geography sound on the south shore of Georgian Bay on Lake Huron , about 9 km northeast of the city of Owen Sound , Ontario in Canada . Leith was established on the Telfer Creek where it empties into the sound. At one time a pier capable of serving sailing ships existed on the northeast side of the mouth of the river. However, exposure to the open Georgian Bay to the north northeast eventually caused the destruction of the pier. All that remains are a collection of old wooden Deep foundation pilings , serving principally as an obstacle to pleasure boaters. A superior harbour in the city of Owen Sound eventually led to the total demise of Leith as a commercial port. Today it is partly a suburb of Owen Sound for year round residents and partly a center for summer cottage cottagers .

Leith Academy is a state school in Leith , Edinburgh . It currently educates around 1,000 pupils and around 2,800 part time adult learners. The former headteacher, Sandy Mcauley, resigned in 2008 Jack M Simpson was appointed headteacher in September 2008. History It is one of the oldest schools in Scotland with its founding usually credited to 1560. However, there are records of a Leith grammar school as early as 1521. To begin with the school was under the control of the Kirk session of Leith parish. It remained so until 1806. It is not known where the school met until 1636 when records make reference to meeting in Trinity house. The school met there until 1710 when after a disagreement about rent, the kirk session decided to move the school to King James hospital which stood on what is now South Leith Parish churchyard. It was not until 1792 that the kirk agreed to a purpose built building for the school. The building, situated just beside Leith Links, was completed in 1806. The school changed its name to Leith Academy in 1888. The Leith Links site lasted the school many years but due to its continued growth by 1931, a new building was required and the Duke Street site was built. The Links site is now used as Leith Primary School and the Duke Street site was used as part of Queen ... by staff, students and parents. The school was founded by South Leith Parish Church, and strong links remain to this day with the school s annual Christmas assembly being held at the south Leith Parish Church.
