The next 10 pictures were all taken from the summit of Braid Hill near Buckstone Snab. The table-like structure has viewpoint details of various landmarks. Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags dominate this view. | |
 |
Referred to as the T Woods but the shape is more like a St George's cross as seen from above. Caerketton hill overlooks the scene. Swanston village is in front of the woods on the right. | |
 |
Facing the opposite direction and looking over the suburbs to Allermuir hill. The small valley is Smithy Cleuch. | |
 |
A clutter of bungalows and semi-detached houses. | |
 |
Torduff hill is on the right. Torduff Reservoir is behind. The ugly electricity pylons spoil the scenery. | |
 |
Looking over Oxgangs towards the Bonaly area. The steep hill on the left is Whitehill and it overlooks the Polo Field and Covenanters Wood. Torduff and Torphin are in the distance on the right. | |
 |
A long lens view over Corstorphine Hill and the Forth bridges to the Ochil Hills. The ugly grey rectangular building is a hotel beside Edinburgh Zoo. | |
 |
A red ship heads up the Firth of Forth. The hills of Fife form the background and Salisbury Crags overlook the scene. | |
 |
This shot shows more of Salisbury Crags with Blackford Hill in the foreground. | |
 |
Morningside Road runs diagonally through the picture. Morningside Station is at bottom left behind Cluny Parish Church. The red shop near top right is at the corner of Abbotsford Park. Immediately to its right is the grey roof of the sheltered housing on the corner of Falcon Avenue beside Waitrose. |
