	House 1 1024 x 768 189K	This next shot, taken a little further down the hill towards Morningside, shows more of the front of the building.
	House 3 1024 x 768 167K	Another shot of this fine old building, looking back up the hill towards Church Hill.
	Morningside Rd 1024 x 768 185K	Looking north up the hill to Church Hill. Saturday morning sunshine brings out the shoppers.
	Canny Man 1 1152 x 864 251K	The Canny Man's at 239 Morningside Road is a famous pub.
	Canny Man 3 1152 x 864 236K	Another shot of the Canny Man's pub. Read what Michael Jackson has to say.
	Canny Man 4 708 x 1024 189K	No Smoking, No Credit Cards, No Mobile Phones, No Cameras, No Backpackers. I've never been in this pub, but here's what some others have to say, here.
	Morningside Road 11 1152 x 961 233K	Down in the heart of Morningside where there's a fairly complicated road junction and also the former railway station. Access used to be down the stairs between the red Barber's shop and the blue Open Door shop in the photograph.
	Morningside Road 19 1024 x 768 222K	Tenement flats between Falcon Avenue and Canaan Lane line the east side of the road. The background is part of Braid Hill near Braid Farm Road.
	Morningside Road 20 1152 x 864 252K	Looking north up towards Church Hill. The top of the hill is 680 metres away from the camera, but looks closer because of the 420mm equivalent lens.
	Morningside Station 2003 1152 x 864 341K	Hopefully the platforms here will soon once again be busy with commuters. A hundred years ago it was possible to travel here from Leith Central Station in 20 minutes.
	Morningside Station Footbridge 648 x 864 235K	An attractive old iron footbridge connecting Maxwell Street to Balcarres Street. New houses are soon (May 2003) to be built nearby on the site of a former electricity substation. There used to be a very loud hum from the massive transformer.
	Mortonhall 1024 x 768 166K	Mortonhall Road in the Grange, one of Edinburgh's leafy suburbs. Photographed from Blackford Hill.
	Myreside Rd 4 1280 x 928 369K	The arched footbridge over Myreside Road connects two sports grounds. In the background are the Pentland Hills.
	Craighouse 1280 x 911 354K	A view from Myreside Road to Craighouse.
	Myreside REH Seasons 612 x 768 116K	Photographed from Easter Craiglockhart Hill at the western end of what is now Napier University and was formerly the Thomas Clouston Clinic. The field is at the east side of Myreside Road. Behind it, partly hidden by trees, is the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. The photos weren't planned like this - but I thought the comparison was quite interesting.
	Newbattle Terrace 1024 x 768 173K	Looking west towards Morningside Road. The Dominion Cinema is on the left.
	Safeway, Morrisons, Somerfield, Waitrose 640 x 480 108K	The ever changing face of our local supermarket.
	Night View 1 573 x 864 95K	(The next 3 photos also appear under Edinburgh Central in the After Dark section.) Night time roadworks at Holy Corner. The photograph shows two vehicles, a tipper lorry and an asphalt spreader. Two workmen remained stationary during the exposure and can be seen through the ghostly image of the lorry.
