Yes, gawk at this bizzare piece of news...

It's not quite as bizarre as you might think - Edinburgh has had a thriving samba school for years, I was with them when we played on the Mound until about 2am on Hogmanay 1995-6. Leith was the home of one of the leading lights of the samba school, the late Ian Heavens who also founded a samba-punk band called Bloco Vomit.

Leith is the single best place in the world.

It may well need it...Scotland is not widely renowned for it's hot and sunny year round weather...not the UK as a whole for that matter. :)

Leith however, is bathed in eternal sunshine, as the Leith San Siro on Easter Road will always testify
