Edinburgh Road as seen from the bridge over
the River North Esk, facing NW towards the city. |
|
|
An unusual wedge-shaped building on the east side of the
main street. |
|
|
An old water tower converted by the architect occupant
into a home. The adjacent more conventionally shaped pink building may be
a restaurant. Apparently the architect is now a chef. There's an inquisitive
dog in the foreground. |

|
A closer look showing the front door. |
|
|
Zoomed in the top storey complete with circular balcony.
The date of construction (1879) is now visible. |
 |
|
Looking across Ironmills Park from the old railway viaduct
(now a cycleway and footpath). The River North Esk flows below, soon to
link up with the South Esk before heading north to Musselburgh and the Firth
of Forth. |
 |
|
Looking up-river from the viaduct we can see Elginhaugh
Bridge carrying Melville Road up to Eskbank Roundabout. This road is quieter
these days since a new road and bridge were built further up between Bonnyrigg
and Gilmerton. |
 |
|
Zoomed in with the camera panned right slightly. Beyond
Elginhaugh Bridge the new road is visible in the mist. |
