	Bingham 795 x 600 88K	"Bingham is Barrie" proclaims the paint-job on the bus shelter, painted to resemble a bus.
	Duddingston 800 x 600 97K	Duddingston Loch is part of Holyrood Park and is a nature reserve. Otters recently moved into the loch - without any human assistance.
	Duddingston 2 800 x 600 174K	Previously featured as a scanned print, now as a scanned negative. Infra Red film makes the water black and grass white.
	Fun City 1024 x 679 88K	The entrance to Portobello's fun fair, not far from the power station and swimming pool.
	Power 1 1024 x 768 224K	There are houses on this site now, of course. It's a pity they didn't make this a listed building like the gasworks at Granton. It might have made a good industrial museum.
	Power 2 1024 x 768 294K	Crushed, twisted metal amongst the demolition debris.
	Power 3 668 x 768 141K	If, like me, you spent some part of your youth at Portobello open-air Swimming Pool across the road from this edifice, then you'll remember the red-brick chimney looming over you.
	Craigmillar Art Centre 1 1152 x 864 264K	This disused church isn't in Craigmillar but is next to the roundabout at Kinnaird Park shopping centre at Newcraighall Road.
	Craigmillar Art Centre 2 768 x 1024 159K	Another view showing part of Niddrie Cottages on the north side of Newcraighall Road. Apart from these houses and the old church, virutally everything else round here has changed since the '60s.
	Craigmillar 05 1280 x 613 253K	The first of 3 long-lens photos from Arthur's Seat. Duddingston Road West crosses the railway bridge on the left. Behind the blue building is Craigmillar Police Station. Niddrie Mains Road runs across the top of the picture beyond the caravan site.
	Niddrie 09 1280 x 765 332K	Duddingston Golf Course is at the front, to the north of the railway line separating it from Niddrie Mains Terrace, Craigmillar Primary School, Harewood Road and Niddrie Mains Drive. The streets are empty; most of the houses have been demolished, and those still standing between Niddrie Mains Drive and Niddrie Mains Road have metal shutters over their windows. Further away is Niddrie Marischal and the Jack Kane sports centre.
	Kinnaird 15 1280 x 715 270K	Kinnaird Park shopping centre. The Toys 'R' Us sign is legible despite being nearly 4Km distant. On the left of the picture are 2 railway bridges. The nearest is the footbridge to the Asda superstore, the one beyond carries the A1 road (Musselburgh Bypass) over the railway line.
	Shop, Eat, Enjoy! 1280 x 960 186K	Make way for the new! Gone are Frankie & Bennie, the multiscreen cinema and the bowling alley.
	Please excuse us 1280 x 886 195K	Maybe a mall will materialise...
	back view 1238 x 845 184K	These shed-like constructions don't take up much space once flattened.
	Shop late 1280 x 960 166K	Shop late Monday to Friday but not just yet. Soon...
	Innocent Railway 1280 x 901 527K	This is at the east end of the long, straight, flat section from Duddingston Road West along the south side of Duddingston Loch. There's information about the railway and this bridge over the Braid Burn in the next picture.
	Innocent Railway Sign 1920 x 1386 457K	I've kept this image big enough to keep small text legible. If reading in a web browser then it'll be necessary to zoom in to read all the text but it's full of interesting history. More recent Innocent Railway pictures in South Side page 11 plus a 3 minute YouTube video of the tunnel.
