Views from Craiglockhart |

The view from Craiglockhart Hill, looking north east towards Myreside Road and Colinton Road. | |

Photographed from Easter Craiglockhart Hill at the western end of what is now Napier University and was formerly the Thomas Clouston Clinic. The field is at the east side of Myreside Road. Behind it, partly hidden by trees, is the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. The photos weren't planned like this - but I thought the comparison was quite interesting. | |

A kestrel hovers over Craiglockhart Hill West, where this shot was taken from. Braid Hills Hotel is at bottom right. Braid Hills Road is just visible at the left, heading east to Liberton. | |

Not long ago, Meggetland was a green space at the north side of the Union canal. In this picture it appears as a brown space, soon to be covered in tarmac and houses. In the distance a bank of fog sits on top of the Firth of Forth. The hills of Fife lie beyond. | |

Meggetland playing fields are in the foreground, Murrayfield Stadium dominates the centre, and the ubiquitous gas works are at far right. |

This is a large image and a large file. The blue building
was the DIY firm Texas. Something unpleasant is being built on the green
space that was once part of Meggetland.
Colinton Road is in the middle distance. Lockharton Avenue and Crescent are the two streets in the foreground, at the north side of Craiglockhart Pond. Photograph taken from Easter Craiglockhart Hill. |

Photographed from Easter Craiglockhart Hill. At the bottom of the picture the path from Swanston Village leads up through the trees and past the 'T Woods'. The artificial ski slope is on the left. Three hillwalkers can be seen beside the cairn at the top of the hill. |
