Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat. A much wider view than the David Hume Tower shot on page 2, showing the rooves of Bruntsfield Place, Bruntsfield Gardens and Forbes Road in the foreground. | |
|
This view of the junction is from lower down the steeple and shows the roof of the drive-in bank on the right. | |
|
Mulhearn and Brotchie are finally closing, to be replaced by a branch of Tesco Metro. The stone villa is to be incorporated into the design. There were several rejected planning applications for other uses for the site. | |
|
Another, closer look at this row of flats. | |
|
The view over Merchiston to the Bathgate Hills. The red shale bings near Broxburn can be seen in the distance (16km) on the right of the picture. | |
|
From lower down, a closer look at the south end of Bruntsfield Place - which overlaps the west side of Morningside road by about 50 metres. Edinburgh Cameras used to have shops in Clerk Street and Lothian Road before moving here. | |
|
This is an example of some of the renovation work already done. Down below is the bank car park. | |
|
The recently renovated roof of this building. The hall is used as a polling station and for book sales and other events. Cars are parked on the left (north) side of Chamberlain Road, and are queueing on the other side to turn left into Morningside Road or cross into Colinton Road. | |
|
Morningside Road from the crossroads up to Church Hill Theatre. Greenhill Park leads off to the left half way up. | |
|
Here's how the scaffolding looks with the south west of four pinnacles poking through it. The Braid Hills and Pentland Hills are in the distance. | |
|
Some parts of the stone work are having to be completely replaced with new stone. This is a closer look at some of the detail. |
