Views from Christ Church Steeple - page 2

	The Grange 1152 x 864 297K	Looking south-east over the leafy suburbs of Greenhill, Church Hill and The Grange towards Blackford Hill.
	Morningside Road 1152 x 864 196K	At the bottom left of the picture is the bus stop at the top of the hill opposite Abbotsford Park. The patch of green at the top of the picture is next to Hermitage Terrace. The traffic coming towards the camera is climbing quite a steep hill. The steeple in the foreground on the right is Morningside Baptist Church.
	Thirlestane to Traprain 1152 x 864 266K	The bay windows and chimney stacks of Thirlestane Road point the way to Traprain Law near East Linton, 37.5 kilometres away. To the right of the trees in the foreground St Margaret's Place is just visible. Marchmont Road is farther along past Warrender Swim Centre.
	Thirlestane Road 1152 x 864 308K	A closer monochromatic look at the rooves of Thirlestane Road. The gap in the sandstone tenements is Spottiswoode Street. The rectangular grid building in the distance is the National Map Library of Scotland at Causewayside, 1.9 kilometres away.
	David Hume Tower Salisbury Crags 1152 x 864 251K	David Hume (1711-1776) might be turning in his grave if he knew about the ugly building which bears his name. Its companion the Appleton Tower is no better. The white box-like University Library building on the left also borders the once elegant George Square. Part of Warrender Park Road is visible in the foreground. A lone person standing on top of Salisbury Crags gives a sense of scale.
	Tynecastle Murrayfield Beechmount 1152 x 864 293K	Tynecastle is the current home of Heart of Midlothian football team. Murrayfield Rugby Ground lies 600 metres beyond. The large building halfway up Corstorphine Hill is Beechmount House.
	Donaldson's 1152 x 864 299K	The modern glass building at the corner of Haymarket Terrace and Devon Place contrasts with the gothic copper-topped turrets of Donaldson's College For The Deaf. The Firth of Forth lies 5 kilometres to the north.
	Fettes College St Mary's Cathedral 1152 x 864 338K	The private school Fettes College dominates this part of the north of the city. Two spires of St Mary's Cathedral are on the right of the picture. Part of Grosvenor Street can be seen behind advertising hoardings at the Morrison Street car park.
