Bruntsfield & Beyond

Bruntsfield (1) - Bruntsfield Links

	Links 1 1024 x 768 93K	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.
	Links 2 1024 x 768 119K	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.
	Links 3 1024 x 768 160K	Looking up across the links to the red sandstone building which is now a students' residence.
	Crags 1 1024 x 768 116K	The parked cars are in the shade but their roofs reflect the evening sunshine which shows off the bizarre geology of Holyrood Park.
	Crags 2 1024 x 768 114K	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.
	Links 4 1024 x 768 101K	A similar view to the one above but with the camera panned right, showing Arthur's Seat (the remains of an extinct volcano).
	Crags 3 1024 x 768 113K	This shot concentrates more on Salisbury Crags, formed by volcanic intrusion and once quarried to pave the streets of London.
	Downtown 1024 x 768 183K	Looking down Bruntsfield Place towards Tollcross. Edinburgh Castle looms overhead. The street behind the tree is Barclay Terrace.
	Bruntsfield Crescent 1280 x 869 325K	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.
	Bruntsfield 28 1280 x 854 374K	A different view taken in the middle of October 2009.
	Links Autumn 1280 x 919 264K	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.
	Links 2 1280 x 749 199K	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.
	View from Wright's Houses 1280 x 854	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.
	Leamington Walk 6 1280 x 960 307K	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.
	Leamington Walk 7 1280 x 1001 325K	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.
	Leamington Walk sign 1280 x 854 542K	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.
	Bruntsfield 2 751 x 600 95K	Shows the view from Montpelier Park facing Bruntsfield Place and Howie's restaurant. Photographed on a damp Sunday morning.
	Seagull 1 1280 x 960 224K	It's 6:21am on a misty Saturday morning and the local fishmonger is providing some tasty titbits to entice the seagulls.
	Seagull 2 1152 x 822 135 K	A veritable feast for the taking. There's been talk of using hawks to discourage the seagull nuisance afflicting the tenement buildings.
