Bruntsfield (1) - Bruntsfield Links
 |
Looking the opposite direction to Meadows Panorama photographed from Salisbury Crags, seen here in the distance. This shot and the next six were taken from behind the green triangle of Bruntsfield Links at the centre of the panorama picture. | |
 |
I've zoomed in a bit closer in this shot, almost excluding the George Square university buildings on the left of the picture above. Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat dominate the skyline, with Bruntsfield Links in the foreground. | |
 |
Looking up across the links to the red sandstone building which is now a students' residence. | |
 |
The parked cars are in the shade but their roofs reflect the evening sunshine which shows off the bizarre geology of Holyrood Park. |
|
 |
Looking across Bruntsfield Links towards Salisbury Crags. The trees border Melville Drive which crosses The Meadows. The tower block is part of Edinburgh University at George Square. | |
 |
A similar view to the one above but with the camera panned right, showing Arthur's Seat (the remains of an extinct volcano). | |
 |
This shot concentrates more on Salisbury Crags, formed by volcanic intrusion and once quarried to pave the streets of London. | |
 |
Looking down Bruntsfield Place towards Tollcross. Edinburgh Castle looms overhead. The street behind the tree is Barclay Terrace. | |
 |
Bruntsfield Terrace and Bruntsfield Crescent run west-east at the top of Bruntsfield Links, the latter of the two visible through the trees in this picture. The shadows of the four nearest trees are at the edge of what was once a quarry. | |
 |
A different view taken in the middle of October 2009. | |
 |
Behind the trees the spires and glass blocks of Quartermile poke into the sky. At the bottom of Bruntsfield Links, an Argos lorry heads east along Melville Drive. | |
 |
The little wooden hut is where you can hire golf clubs. To the left is Glengyle Terrace and in the distance is Arthur's Seat. | |
 |

This short street runs parallel to Bruntsfield Place and forms the western border of Bruntsfield Links. The view to Arthur's Seat 3km away is uninterrupted except by the trees at Melville Drive. |
 |
The motor vehicle further down the path is a rarity (it's emptying rubbish bins). More commonly, the path usually has walkers, cyclists and the occasional skater. | |
 |
Further down the hill on this misty morning and Warrender Park Terrace is just visible on the right. The smaller footpath comes from Spottiswoode Street direction. | |
 |
The Bruntsfield Place end of the path opposite Ideal Computing and Best Western Hotel. From here it's all downhill to the bottom of Marchmont Road. | |
 |
Shows the view from Montpelier Park facing Bruntsfield Place and Howie's restaurant. Photographed on a damp Sunday morning. | |
 |
It's 6:21am on a misty Saturday morning and the local fishmonger is providing some tasty titbits to entice the seagulls. | |
 |
A veritable feast for the taking. There's been talk of using hawks to discourage the seagull nuisance afflicting the tenement buildings. | |
 |
The top part of Leamington Walk crosses Whitehouse Loan before the last stretch to Bruntsfield Place where all the good shops, restaurants and bars are. If I'm out on my inline skates I'll come down this way. | |
 |
A long-lens view over Bruntsfield Links towards George Square. The Mosque and Islamic Centre is at Potterrow. Part of Salisbury Crags is on the right. | |
 |
Infrared view of the grassy hollow next to Alvanley Terrace, part of Whitehouse Loan. | |
 |
Further down Leamington Walk near the bottom end of Warrender Park Terrace looking across Bruntsfield Links towards Barclay Church. | |
 |
Looking across Leamington Walk and Bruntsfield Links towards the corner of Glengyle Terrace and Leven Terrace. These 3 infrared shots taken with an R72 filter which blocks visible light. | |
 |
A more conventional view of Leamington Walk. I sometimes skate down here. | |
 |
Another shot of this brick building. I'd like to think it could be incorporated into whatever eventually occupies the old brewery site between the canal and Fountainbridge. | |
 |
From my roof looking across the start of Colinton Road towards Craighouse Campus on Craiglockhart Hill. In the distance is White Hill, part of the Pentland Hills overlooking Bonaly. |
