One of Edinburgh's leading heritage groups has suggested that a new museum should be created exploring the history of the city's links to the slave trade, colonialism, the persecution of witches and child exploitation.

Custom House, a prominent Leith landmark, was built in 1812 for ship captains to declare their cargoes sourced from the far flung corners of the British Empire.
