Memorial Club

Boys' Brigade

The Boys' Brigade 1st Leith Company moved into Bank Villa, their Memorial Club rooms at 71+73 Ferry Road, Leith in 1920.  A gymnasium was built on the site in 1924.

Today, in 2010, 1st Leith Boys' Brigade Company Ex-Members' Association still owns the building and uses one of the rooms in the building.  The remainder of the building is rented to a youth charity.
