Leith St John's East Church was known as Leith St John's until 1929.
In 1955 it merged with Leith St John's West to form Leith St John's. In 1956 St John's was transported to Oxgangs on the South of the city.
Leith St John's was at 69-71 Constitution Street and is a listed building. I will try and get a photograph of the building.
From The Scotsman 25th April 1921
St John's Parish Church, Leith
In memory of the men of the congregation of St John's Parish Church, Leith, a mural tablet has been erected in the Church. The, unveiling ceremony was performed yesterday by the Rev. Dr. J. A. M'Clymont, C.B.E, Moderator-designate of the Church of Scotland, and the Rev. James Park also took part in the service.
