	Snow Shadows 1024 x 768 183K	The railings near the east end of Braid Hills Road cast interesting shadows on the drifted snow. Photographed in the winter of 1978/9.
	Dalkeith Rd 1024 x 768 217K	Looking north towards the city centre on the A68 at Prestonfield.
	Ellen's Glen 650 x 768 147K	Boys playing in the narrow strip of woodland parallel to Ellen's Glen Road, formerly Stenhouse Road. Near Greenend and the Robin's Nest pub. In an email from Lawrence Target: that's me with my back to the camera, my brother Dawson in the black top on the right standing, Alan Blair the blonde one, Raymond Massie the wee guy on the swing, Dave Reed top right on the swing.. the rest I don't know ... (probably 1979-ish)
	Gilmerton Rd 800 x 600 104K	A Monkey Puzzle tree and recent snow combine to give this bungalow its strange appearance.
	Jolly Farmer 1280 x 889 249K	Previously featured in lower quality. Back in 1977, there still was a farm nearby. Whether the farmer was jolly or not is unclear. Rescanned in 2005 with a larger image.
	Little France 1280 x 818 227K	The new Edinburgh Royal Infirmary is on the left hand side of Old Dalkeith Road at this point. A wet night meant an exposure of a second or two with the camera on a tripod. Rescanned in 2005 with a larger image.
	Little France 2 1280 x 816 237K	A variation on the previous shot. This time the exposure was longer causing a much longer trail created by car headlights. This area is now rather more urbanised. The hospital has long since displaced the caravan and camping site.
	The Inch 800 x 600 127K	The Inch housing scheme is adjacent to the same A68 road as the previous picture. This shot was taken not far from Cameron Toll.
	Craigmillar Castle and Ferniehill 1280 x 834 389K	Photographed from Arthur's Seat. The white building obscured by Craigmillar Castle is Edinburgh Royal Infirmary at Little France. The A7 road carries traffic south past Upper Craigour and Fernieside. More new building work is under way on the south east side of the Niddrie Burn.
	Good's Corner 1280 x 834 391K	At the junction of Gilmerton Road and Liberton Road. Northfield Parish Church can be seen 1.13km distant at top left, Alnwickhill 1km away at top right of the picture. Photographed March 2010.
