This next shot, taken a little further down
the hill towards Morningside, shows more of the front of the building. |

Another shot of this fine old building, looking back up
the hill towards Church Hill. |

Looking north up the hill to Church Hill. Saturday morning
sunshine brings out the shoppers. |

The Canny Man's at 239 Morningside Road is a famous pub.

I've never been in this pub, but here's what some others have to say,
here. |
 |
|
Down in the heart of Morningside where there's a fairly
complicated road junction and also the former railway station. Access used
to be down the stairs between the red Barber's shop and the blue Open Door
shop in the photograph. |
 |
|
Tenement flats between Falcon Avenue and Canaan Lane
line the east side of the road. The background is part of Braid Hill near
Braid Farm Road. |
 |
|
Looking north up towards Church Hill. The top of the
hill is 680 metres away from the camera, but looks closer because of the
420mm equivalent lens. |
 |
|
Hopefully the platforms here will soon once again be busy
with commuters. A hundred years ago it was possible to travel here from
Leith Central Station in 20 minutes. |
|
|
An attractive old iron footbridge connecting Maxwell Street
to Balcarres Street. New houses are soon (May 2003) to be built nearby on
the site of a former electricity substation. There used to be a very loud
hum from the massive transformer. |

|
Mortonhall Road in the Grange, one of Edinburgh's
leafy suburbs. Photographed from Blackford Hill. |
 |
|
Photographed from Easter Craiglockhart Hill at the western
end of what is now Napier University and was formerly the Thomas Clouston
Clinic. The field is at the east side of Myreside Road. Behind it, partly
hidden by trees, is the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. The photos weren't planned
like this - but I thought the comparison was quite interesting. |
 |
|
Looking west towards Morningside Road. The Dominion Cinema
is on the left. |
 |
|
The ever changing face of our local supermarket. |
 |
|
(The next 3 photos also appear under Edinburgh Central
in the After Dark section.)
Night time roadworks at Holy Corner. The photograph shows two vehicles,
a tipper lorry and an asphalt spreader. Two workmen remained stationary
during the exposure and can be seen through the ghostly image of the lorry. |
