By examining the book, the play and the film, Choose Life, Choose
Leith both critically analyses the Trainspotting phenomenon in its
various forms, and contextualises the importance of the location of
Leith and the culture of 1980s Britain. Looking in detail at the
history of Leith, the drug culture, the spread of HIV/AIDs, and how
Trainspotting affected drug policy, Leith and the Scottish
Identity, the book highlights the importance of Trainspotting.
Choose Life, Choose Leith acts as a reference book, a record of the
times and a background as to the history that led to the real-life
situation and the publication of the book.
