	Stewart Terrace Wardlaw Terrace 850 x 1024 209K	There are steps leading down from the Slateford Road bridge leading to Wardlaw Terrace which continues to the right, parallel to the railway line. Stewart Terrace is the left branch at this corner. It leads down past new houses built on the site of the old Ferranti factory.
	Wardlaw Terrace 1152 x 864 208K	There are some wooden buildings hugging the railway embankment across the road from the houses in the previous picture. The chimney does not belong to the establishment pictured here; it belongs to the brewery at the other side of the tracks.
	Wheatfield Place 00 1152 x 864 267K	At the other, north side of Gorgie Road there are some interesting back streets. This long wall runs along the north side of Wheatfield Place. It has Rota-Spikes on top to discourage intruders.
	Wheatfield Place 01 1152 x 864 236K	A closer look at the barred window and the disclaimer notice regarding those Rota-Spikes. I think the premises belong to a whisky distiller.
	Wheatfield Place 02 1152 x 864 238K	The entrance gate has two rows of Rota-Spikes and there are extra defences against those individuals inclined to climb lamp posts. In the background can be seen part of the Heart of Midlothian football stadium.
	Wheatfield Place 03 1152 x 864 175K	A final look at the intruder deterrant.
	Wheatfield Place 04 1152 x 864 248K	At the end of the street is Hearts' football ground. There is much maroon paint and even the stone chips in the tarmac have a red colour. Any green or blue colour would be perceived as alien by fans. Cairns Memorial Church sits next to the main Gorgie Road entrance.
	Wheatfield Terrace 1152 x 864 235K	The corrugated iron building currently housing Gorgie Mission looks rather out of place in Wheatfield Terrace. This is actually a listed building thanks in part to its rarity. Thanks to Gordon Hudson for this information and more.
	Gorgie Rd IR 1280 x 854 319K	Infrared view of the railway bridge beside Wheatfield Road.
	Haymarket Bear 1152 x 864 218K	A bear walks along Dalry Road towards Haymarket and apparently considers having a haircut.
	Dewar Place Lane 00 1152 x 864 229K	This old two-storey building is dwarfed by the office buildings in nearby Torphicen Street.
	Dewar Place Lane 03 1152 x 864 256K	This view is looking to the east towards the financial district straddling the West Approach Road.
	Dewar Place 8 1280 x 974 266K	This view from Morrison Street juxtaposes the old Electricity Board building with the more recent Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
	Dewar Place 7 1280 x 854 296K	August 2009 and there are changes here. The Electricity premises have long since been vacated but the front wall has been preserved. Morrison Street is at the end of the road. The round building is the EICC.
	Tobago Place 1280 x 854 190K	At the top of the little slope at the end of Dewar Place there's a little street on the left called Tobago Place which is now only a site entrance.
	Torphicen St School 1280 x 830 285K	Standing at the corner of Torphicen Street and Canning Street is this fine sandstone building, no longer used as a school.
	Torphicen St 4 1280 x 834 246	Across the road on the south side of the street lies this office building with room to spare.
	Dalry Road 1152 x 864 268K	Looking west towards the Gorgie area. The former railway bridge in the distance carries the Western Approach Road over Dalry Road. Maplin electronics caters for electronics and computer enthusiasts, and across the road is Silicon, the cut-price computer shop. The girl in the foreground has just seen her hat blow across the road into the traffic.
	Dalry School 1280 x 772 435K	Dalry Primary School was looking good in the sunshine with its trees and blue railings.
	Telfer Subway 1152 x 864 185K	A footpath connects Dundee Street to Orwell Terrace passing below the busy West Approach Road. The pedestrian underpass predates the road - which was built on the old railway lines to the Caledonian Station at Edinburgh's West End.
	Telfer Subway 06 1280 x 960 439K	A later picture showing the other end of the subway. It has just been painted with anti-vandal paint.
	Dalry Road Cemetery Lodge 1084 x 1024 273K	This charming old lodge house is opposite the junction of Muirieston Crescent and Dalry Road, near the appropriately named Coffin Lane.
	Coffin Lane 1280 x 854 360K	This footpath connects Dalry Road to Dundee Street near its junction with the Western Approach Road. It's sandwiched between the Western Approach Road and Dalry Cemetery.
	Coffin Lane 3 128 x 960 534K	A different view of Coffin Lane.
	Gorgie Farm 768 x 1024 335K	This small urban farm has been here for a few years now. It's a great place for parents to bring their children. This picture shows the decorated wall.
	Ryrie's Pub 815 x 1024 264K	A familiar sight to those passing through Haymarket. Fisheye lens on a Pentax *ist digital camera.
	Morrison Street carpark 1280 x 851 215K	The colony houses off Dalry road are overlooked by this quiet corner of the car and lorry park. The houses in the middle distance on the right are much newer and are on the other side of Dalry Road, overlooking the railway line.
