| The last 
      horse tram in Leith ran on 2 November 1905. The first 
      electric tram ran on 18 August 1905. Passenger 
      travelling on the two mile journey from Edinburgh to Leith had to change 
      trams half way at Pilrig, because Edinburgh's cable system and Leith's 
      electric system were not compatible with each other. It was not 
      until around 1920 that it became possible to complete this journey on a 
      single tram. |
