Scope and Content Council-chamber inside Leith Town Hall, City of Edinburgh Leith Town Hall was built after the Leith Police Act of 1827 gave administrative powers to 'Magistrates and Masters', a semi-representative local body. The building housed a town council from 1849 until 1920 when the burgh was amalgamated with Edinburgh. The council-chamber is much as it was after it was enlarged in 1891-2 by the removal of offices. Its most striking feature from that period is a brightly-painted plaster ceiling by Thomas Bonnar. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
