- Great_Junction_Street abstract "Great Junction Street is a street in Leith, on the northern outskirts of Edinburgh, Scotland. It runs south east to north west following approximately the southwestmost line of the old city walls around Leith. While some sections existed c.1800, it was not planned as a continuous road, reaching all the way to Ferry Road from the foot of Leith Walk, until 1860. Its main function was to serve as a bypass to the narrow and busy medieval streets of Old Leith to the north east. It was aimed at commercial traffic rather than pedestrian use, and arguably that can still be felt today. The trams of the early 20th century were discontinued in 1956. There were plans to reinstate a modern tram link, connecting Edinburgh Airport and Newhaven. This was not to run along Great Junction street as it formerly did, but there was to be a tram stop at Constitution Street at its south-eastern end. However the trams are no longer planned to run beyond York Place in Edinburgh.The street was the site of a triumphal arch which was constructed for the reception of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1842. Great crowds attended this despite the heavy rain. Prince Albert added to the general merriment of the occasion by observing that he supposed that this was just a Scotch mist.The street was traditionally Leith's main shopping street. It has been somewhat depressed since the late 1970s, and contains many low-grade modern shopfronts, but still remains relatively vibrant.People from Leith often refer to Great Junction Street as Junction Street, omitting the Great part. North Junction Street lies at its extreme west end. It is connected to the area known as the Shore via Henderson Street.".
