The Leith Gala Day parade started off from Pilrig Park this morning led by two police horses Kilmarnock and Stewarton and escorted by Police Scotland motorcyclists.

But the procession was also led by Provost for the day,  Willie Barr from Citadel Youth Centre suitably attired in mock ermine and accompanied by Jack Sparrow.

Followed by representatives from other Leith groups the parade made its way out to Leith Walk and then on to Leith Links.

We caught up with some parts of the procession as it headed off on its way:
