Albert Terrace, Barclay Church, Blackford Hill

	Albert Terrace 1024 x 761 178K	Looking east along this leafy lane towards Morningside Road.
	Barclay Church 647 x 768 83K	Where Leven Street changes its name to Bruntsfield Place stands this magnificent erection. The scaffolding has just been removed at the start of 2000. Glengyle Terrace on the left leads to Bruntsfield Links and the Golf Tavern, pictured below.
	Barclay Church 2 1152 x 864 257K	As seen from Bruntsfield Links. The pattern created by different shades of slates on the conical roof is really attractive. Even the little wooden hut for golf club hire complements the architecture.
	Barclay Church 6 Interior	Photographed on the Open Day on 27 September 2003.
	Barclay Church 13 1152 x 864 314K	Photographed from Gillespie Crescent at the opposite side of Bruntsfield Place. A substantial gothic style building despite its small internal size. What it lacks in capacity it makes up for with its imposing architecture.
	Barclay Church 14 1152 x 864 355	Detail showing the trouble the blacksmith went to when customising the way the iron fence adjoins the stonework.
	Barclay Church from inside a bus 1280 x 851 173K	A wide angle view shows off the interior of this LRT bus in Home Street. One block south, the street changes its name to Leven Street then Bruntsfield Place, Morningside Road etc.
	Barclay Place 770 x 1024 209K	Barclay Place is part of the main road (Brunstfield Place) as is Gillespie Place on the opposite (west) side. The 1885 architecture is shown to advantage by the oblique February sunshine. Outrageous Art can create unique surreal paintings to order for you if you've got the ideas and the money.
	Barclay Terrace 443 x 768 100K	Whenever I look at this building I see the figure of a person midway through putting on a (pullover) sweater, arms held aloft, hands poking out of the sleeves - but head not yet emerging out of the neck. The Golf Tavern is just down to the right, Whitehouse Loan is to the left, and Bruntsfield Place is behind the building.
	Blackford Hill & Arthur's Seat 1024 x 768 128K	Above the woods of Blackford Glen stands The Royal Observatory, behind which is Arthur's Seat.
	Blackford Glen 2 1024 x 768 227K	A shot taken from one of the old quarry entrances. Facing south east towards the tree-lined footpath up Howe Dean to Braid Hills Drive.
	Blackford Glen 3 1024 x 768 190K	Formerly grazed by cows, more recently by rabbits. The wild flowers in this meadow will all disappear if this becomes yet another golf course. Herbicide will also get into the Braid Burn.
	swan & gull 1280 x 947 197K	Both birds seem to be interested in something under the surface of Blackford Pond.
	swan & gulls 1280 x 926 224K	A seagull takes off from the surface. Swans tend to take off much less frequently.
