Dumbryden

Looking east along the Union Canal from the Dumbryden Road bridge, just north of Tesco. The original construction didn't have the advantage of plastic sheets to keep the water in. |

Hailesland
Park 1024 x 768 157K |
Hailesland Park where the multi-storey flats overlook the canal running along Hailesland Road. This photograph was taken from the same bridge at Dumbryden Road. |

'C'
Division 1024 x 768 196K |
Wester Hailes Police Station 'C' Division at 49 Dumbryden Drive as seen from the south bank of the canal. There's more work to be done before water is allowed into this section. |

The old and new bridges can be seen side by side here at Dumbryden Road. |

An LRT bus travels east along Hailesland Road on the north bank of the canal. This is the same section as above and was still dry in June 2001. |

The canal is going to be right next to Hailesland Road under the footbridge at Murrayburn. This means temporary traffic lights while work is in progress. |
 |
Shell 1024 x 768 176K |
The old Shell Service Station at 50 Murrayburn Road still remains. This section of canal (now filled with water) runs behind it towards Wester Hailes Road, visible in the background. |
 |
Murrayburn
Drive 1024 x 768 170K |
This road nestles just below this newly flooded part of the canal and leads under Wester Hailes Road to Wester Hailes Education Centre at 5 Murrayburn Drive. |

A720
Queue 1152 x 852 190K |
Taken from the Scott Russell Aqueduct as were the two pictures on page 4. This time the composition consists of 'M8, M8, H'Gait, H'Gait' and other similar signs including the warning 'Queues likely'. |

Turnhouse 1024 x 768 123K |
The first of two views north west along the railway line from the bridge in Cammo Road. |

The railway line crosses the River Almond 750M ahead then disappears into the mist. |

A720
Torphin 1152 x 864 249K |
Photographed from Bonaly in the Pentland Hills. Torphin Road crosses the A720 City Bypass as it curves northwards over the Water of Leith and Juniper Green. |
 |
Corstorphine Road 00 1152 x 864 310K |
Double red lines means don't even consider the possibility of stopping here for a millisecond. This is the main road into the city centre from Edinburgh Airport, as well as the west and north of Scotland. |
 |
Corstorphine Road 04 1152 x 864 232K |
Another view of the interaction of red paint and the metal grating over a drain - or siver (sp?) to use the Scots vernacular. These two photos taken not far from Murrayfield Rugby Ground and Murrayfield Ice Rink. |
 |
The beginning of a mid-week afternoon session and there's nobody on the ice yet. | |
 |
Easter school holidays and the ice rink is quite busy at the 2.30pm session. More skating related stuff here. |
