This shot shows more of the nature reserve in Autumn colours. The Innocent Railway footpath and cycle path is hidden behind the trees. Part of Prestonfield golf course is visible. |

Zoomed into the nature reserve a little more. A sanctuary for waterfowl - although none is actually visible. |

launderette 1024 x 768 275K |
This could have been someone's beautiful launderette. Watch out Niddrie, your edges are being nibbled away... |

The previous picture was taken in March 2002. It was a dull day with flat light and was better suited to the monochromatic treatment. This time in August 2005 the sun is shining, showing the colours in all their true glory. AQQA stores is open for business. |

I think this building is a better candidate for a listed building than the White House pub on the next page. It could be interpreted as community art and preserved for future generations. |

Wauchope Avenue 1 1152 x 864 281K |
Round the corner to the left of the launderette is this mural which seems to resemble an oil refinery or chemical plant blowing up. |

Next door the entire shop has been welded shut. A notice advises that ball games are prohibited. The big slab of metal covering the entire shopfront has some interesting colours and textures created by rust. |

Further east is the holy land of commerce, resplendent with numerous temples to consumerism. |

It's all here, everything you want. If you need groceries, you can get them from Marks and Spencer. |

The metallic colours and textures here are prettier than those in the launderette and Wauchope Avenue pictures above, as befits this 'shopping experience'. |

Figgate
Pond 1024 x 768 144K |
Just west of the junction of the Sir
Harry Lauder Road and Baileyfield Road at Portobello is Figgate Burn
Park and its pond. Arthur's Seat is in the background to the west.
Figgate Burn is much shorter than the Braid Burn which joins it under the Mountcastle Drive bridge, losing its identity in the process. |
 |
Piershill 1024 x 768 219K |
As seen from the slopes of Whinny Hill, the northern part of Arthur's Seat. Visible in the middle distance are Piershill Square East and Piershill Square West. In the distance to the North is Craigentinny Golf Course, Seafield and the Firth of Forth. |
