The same street as the previous photo but nearly 30 years later. The photos above and below were taken in the '70s with a Yashica SLR and 350mm lens. This one was taken with an Olympus E-10 digital SLR with a 420mm equivalent lens. | |

Comely
Bank 2 |
Back to the '70s for this shot of Comely Bank Avenue, photographed from East Fettes Avenue at the north side of Comely Bank Road. Sorry, but I couldn't resist another shot of the 'store-horse'. That would be St Cuthbert's Co-op delivering the milk. The hill isn't as steep as it looks; the horse could probably climb it - as long as it's had its oats for breakfast. |

Rothesay Place 810 x 1008 290K |
It's October and the ivy on this building has turned red. Hopefully this growth won't compromise the integrity of the stonework too much. Presumably the various occupants are in favour of retaining the ivy. This is in Edinburgh's West End near Palmerston Place and the Belford Bridge over the Water of Leith, pictured below. |

Walking upstream from here leads to Roseburn and the floodplain on which is built Murrayfield Stadium and Murrayfield Ice Rink. The downstream path passes through the Dean Village and leads to Stockbridge and beyond. |
