	Nicolson Street 1280 x 941 393K	The Friendship Centre's paint job lingers on the stonework above these two cafes opposite Nicolson Square.
	Nicolson Street 2 1280 x 746 286K	A few metres further south is this Bingo Hall, once the La Scala cimema.
	Nicolson Square 2 774 x 1024 252K	At the western end of Nicolson Square. The road connects to Potterrow at Marshall Street. Just out of shot to the right are Nicolson Square Gardens and public toilets.
	The Pear Tree 2 1280 x 906 351K	The Pear Tree pub garden is a nice place for a refreshing glass of beer.
	The Pear Tree 3 1280 x 896 411K	Here you can see the tree which adorns the front of the building. West Nicolson Street is behind the wall to the left.
	Roxburgh Place West Adam Street 775 x 1024 205K	The name sounds grand, corner of Roxburgh Place and West Adam Street - but the prefabricated concrete structure is ugly and stark.
	Drummond Street 1046 x 1050 211K	I had to rotate my camera to squeeze it all in, even with a wide angle lens. I wanted to capture this colourful construction built into a basement for reasons unknown.
	Drummond Street 1 1060 x 1024 347K	Facing east down the street for a different look at the psychedelic paintwork.
	Innocent 9 1280 x 960 427K	Looking into the old railway tunnel from its east end, near the nature reserve at Duddingston Loch.
	Innocent 10 768 x 1024 278K	This is the view down one of two paths leading down to the path from the road to Duddingston Village. The other path is less steep and better suited to cylclists. To the right of the path is Prestonfield Golf Course and the Wells O' Wearie.
	Innocent 11 1280 x 960 408K	Zoomed in here from the same viewpoint. A lone cyclist is approaching, having come from the Duddingston Road West end of the path.
	Innocent 12 768 x 1024 427K	Here you can see more of the steeper path as well as a little bit of the road above. The next two pictures have been copied from Edinburgh East page 1 for completeness.
	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	This is still a large though image shrunk in size but the small text is still legible. If reading in a web browser then it's necessary to zoom in to read all the text but it's full of interesting history.
	Innocent 14 1280 x 854 411K	Looking west up the gentle slope towards the tunnel. The geological feature known as Sampson's Ribs is up on the right behind Queen's Drive. Blackberries and raspberries grow amongst the ubiquitous rosebay willowherb.
	Innocent 15 800 x 587 104K	Inside the Innocent Railway Tunnel.

3 minute YouTube video of the journey through the Innocent Railway Tunnel and down to Duddingston Loch - freewheeling all the way on inline skates. More skating videos here.
