The Diggers pub features in The Edinburgh Pub Guide and was once described as mecca by camra. (Dangerous traffic management here and Ardmillan. See my diagram Dec 2010.) | |
 |
This is the view up Henderson Terrace towards Dundee Street. The Diggers is at the top on the right. The cemetery is behind the high stone wall on the left. | |
 |
On the north side of Gorgie Road next to the former Tivoli cinema is a cobbled lane leading to Murieston Road. | |
 |
A view down Murieston Lane which is has garage workshops one one side and comparatively new blocks of flats on the other.. | |
 |
Two strange little tenements sandwiched between the more common 4 storey blocks. This one-way street is compulsory for drivers descending Henderson Terrace and not entering Gorgie Road, but a few make illegal turns across the Green Man pedestrian signals. | |
 |
As you leave Murieston and Dalry areas, the appearance gets a bit seedy. The bridge ahead carries rail traffic from Haymarket to Slateford and beyond. | |
 |
This is how it looks coming the other way. A convenient drainpipe and ladders provide access to the rooves for graffiti artists. Currently (September 2010) the yard is occupied by a firm that sells secondhand vans. | |
 |
The view over the park from Murieston Road to Murieston Crescent. The park is very popular with parents and children. Older guys often play cricket here, too. | |
 |
East of the junction with Ardmillan Terrace, Henderson Terrace and Murieston Road, Gorgie Road becomes Dalry Road. Murray Donald's shop has been here a long time. I don't know about the other Steven Parry Donald's shop next door - they may be related. | |
 |
An updated photo (2010) of the Lodge House at the Dalry Road entrance to the cemetery. Visit the Cemetery Page to have a look around. | |

This footpath connects Dalry Road to Dundee Street near its junction with the Western Approach Road. It's sandwiched between the Western Approach Road and Dalry Cemetery. |
 |
Two more recent views of Coffin Lane, a low shot with leaves... | |
 |
...and an off-centre shot showing the steps up to Dundee Street. | |
 |
Behind the pictured Sky Internet premises is Murieston Crescent Lane, and behind that is the West Approach Road on the old railway embankment. This road crosses above Dalry Road just to the right of the picture. | |
 |
On the north east side of the former railway bridge is this block of tenement flats. The second door from the left belongs to a narrow house which was once a small shop. Downfield Place is the street on the right. | |
 |
Dalry School 1280 x 772 435K |
Dalry Primary School was looking good in the sunshine with its trees and blue railings. |
 |
Sandwiched between a normal size tenement building and a smaller one is this little shop which has been a hairdresser's and a billiards hall - though probably not at the same time. | |
 |
Looking west towards the Gorgie area. The former railway bridge in the distance carries the Western Approach Road over Dalry Road. Maplin electronics caters for electronics and computer enthusiasts, and across the road is Silicon, the cut-price computer shop. The girl in the foreground has just seen her hat blow across the road into the traffic. | |
 |
Approaching the gradual descent to the Haymarket junction. This is one of a few back streets opposite the Caledonian Crescent area. | |
 |
Dalry Gait is the name of the lane leading down to the left. Brick built houses are quite unusual in this area. | |
 |
A few more shots showing the variety of businesses... | |
 |
All sorts of services are on offer. Somehow, tanning salons seem to equate to seedier areas... | |
 |
It's possible that these two shops were once gardens belonging to the brick built dwelling. | |
 |
If I remember correctly, the tattoo parlour was once a small cinema. | |
 |
More recent shops include Cash Generator and Pound Plus. | |
 |
A bear walks along Dalry Road towards Haymarket and apparently considers having a haircut. | |
 |
Telfer
Subway 1152 x 864 185K |
A footpath connects Dundee Street to Orwell Terrace passing below the busy West Approach Road. The pedestrian underpass predates the road - which was built on the old railway lines to the Caledonian Station at Edinburgh's West End. |
 |
Telfer
Subway 06 1280 x 960 439K |
A later picture showing the other end of the subway. It has just been painted with anti-vandal paint. |
 |
Some of my earlier pictures featured some excellent mural work in the Telfer Subway. Sadly, aerosols arseholes vandalised them. They continue to spray-paint clumsy slogans on the walls - but vandalproof paint means they're just washed off again. | |
 |
At the Dalry end looking back towards Dundee Street. The vandalproof paint seems to be effective. Adolescent males could save the money they spend on spray cans. | |

October 2011 and the wall beside the ramp up to Dundee Street has had a nice paint job in the form of a mural created with participation by local schools. | |
.jpg) |
I thought I'd better capture it before it's spoiled by numpties with spray cans. | |
 |
Neat stenciling. Maybe his tag is Oedipus... | |
 |
This road, built on former railway lines, splits/merges here between the bridge over Dalry Road and the Dundee Street ramp. Drivers are warned to beware of foxes. No doubt the old railway embankments provide a secluded route for foxes. | |
 |
A fine Victorian building. Dalry Public Baths is inscribed in stone but the more fashionable term 'Swim Centre' is preferred. | |
 |
A densely populated area so near to the city centre must guard its parking places jealously. There are police warning signs about double parking. At the end of this street is Dalry Road with Haymarket a short distance away down to the right. |
