It’s one of the transforming powers of art that it can help change the way we see familiar things, not least the places where we live…but it can rarely have worked so brilliantly, and on such a slender, unpretentious shoestring, as it does on the midsummer evening every year [with] the LeithLate Festival, a brief but joyful celebration of creative life in and around Leith Walk.
— Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman (2014)
