Tony
This is the Stockbridge "Tony", the Antony Gormley casts in the Water of Leith. Our local Tony still lies submerged, must be 7 or 8 months now. Didn't want to finish the year without a last appearance.

National Portrait Gallery
The refurbished Gallery is now open again having been closed for a year. They seem to have made a pretty good job of it. There was no access to the library before, one of the many changes.

Jam
Of the traffic variety. Pretty poor picture from phone but pretty poor for the passengers. This is Shandwick pLace and this jam consists mostly of buses and goes at least all the way to Haymarket.

Gingerbread House
Not any old gingerbread house but one based on a building in Leith. This is the work of La Cerise and is the annual Christmas charity fundraiser. You have to name the building. I don't think you get to eat the house if you win though. This is a link to the wonderful world of patisserie. http://www.lacerise.biz/

It's Official
Winter has arrived. After the mildest November on record we have a freeze. Sleet followed by sub-zero temperatures leading to rock hard deposits on windscreens and the streets covered in a thin slippy film of ice. Back to normal.

Occupy Edinburgh
This pleasant little campsite loks a lot more comfortable than St Pauls or Wall Street. Camped in St Andrew's Square they are not really inconveniencing anyone. Very Edinburgh.
