Ferniehill 640 x 480 81K	Of no photographic merit, this picture shows where I used to play as a boy in the '50s. Then, it was a disused limestone quarry. It was later used as a landfill site. Houses built nearby are now uninhabitable due to subsidence.
	Gilmerton CC 1024 x 768 178K	Formerly a school, now the local community centre. The porta-cabin provides information about the effects of old limestone mines.
	Jolly Farmer 2001 1024 x 768 126K	I much prefer the black and white photo of the Jolly Farmer in 1977. This one is provided to see how 34 years have affected its appearance.
	Little France 1024 x 768 145K	A 'green field' site, formerly a caravan and camping site. It's not looking particularly green today due to the bare soil, the partially-built hospital and the cloud-burst. Hopefully the culverted Niddrie Burn in the foreground will cope with the vagaries of global warming. Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary will be relocating to this flood plain from the city centre.
	A720 Dreghorn 1024 x 768 142K	On the bridge over the A720 from Dreghorn Link is this commemorative notice proclaiming that Bruce Millan opened this Edinburgh City Bypass in March 1990.
	Priestfield 1152 x 864 371K	Orderly rows of 'des-res' detached bungalows as seen from Arthur's Seat. You're guaranteed to hear the authentic sound of the 'burbs should you pass this way, i.e. man taming nature with rotating electrical machinery.
