There are houses on this site now, of
course. It's a pity they didn't make this a listed building like the
gasworks at Granton. It might have made a good industrial museum. |

If, like me, you spent some part of
your youth at Portobello open-air Swimming Pool across the road from
this edifice, then you'll remember the red-brick chimney looming over
you. |

This disused church isn't in Craigmillar but is next
to the roundabout at Kinnaird Park shopping centre at Newcraighall Road. |

Another view showing part of Niddrie Cottages on the
north side of Newcraighall Road. Apart from these houses and the old church,
virutally everything else round here has changed since the '60s. |

The first of 3 long-lens photos from Arthur's Seat. Duddingston
Road West crosses the railway bridge on the left. Behind the blue building
is Craigmillar Police Station. Niddrie Mains Road runs across the top of
the picture beyond the caravan site. |

Duddingston Golf Course is at the front, to the north
of the railway line separating it from Niddrie Mains Terrace, Craigmillar
Primary School, Harewood Road and Niddrie Mains Drive. The streets are
empty; most of the houses have been demolished, and those still standing
between Niddrie Mains Drive and Niddrie Mains Road have metal shutters
over their windows. Further away is Niddrie Marischal and the Jack Kane
sports centre. |

Kinnaird Park shopping centre. The Toys 'R' Us sign is
legible despite being nearly 4Km distant. On the left of the picture are
2 railway bridges. The nearest is the footbridge to the Asda superstore,
the one beyond carries the A1 road (Musselburgh Bypass) over the railway
line. |
