Big shout out to our Chair, Bob Last, who’s just been named in The Herald Top 50 Most Powerful People in Scottish Arts and Culture

A well-earned nod to a lifetime in music, film and the wider creative industries, and the kind of thinking that’s helping to shape what Leith Theatre becomes next. Bob’s belief in the power of music, community and creativity runs through everything we’re building here, and across Leith more widely.

We’re lucky to have that experience in the room, especially as Leith is buzzing with energy right now. Leith Theatre’s a big part of that, and Bob is right at the heart of it.

Huge congratulations to Bob, and to all the other formidable champions of Scottish culture on the list.
