Haymarket Line

Trains heading west to Haymarket from Waverley passing the castle rock before the long tunnel.

St Cuthbert's Burial Ground

Off King's Stables Road looking up at the Castle.  A cold bright morning.

Princes Street

Light fading on Princes Street this afternoon.  Still no sign of the Trams but all the infrastructure in place.

Playfair Steps

Heading for the steps past the National gallery.

Howe Street

Ciabatta and bacon, highly recommended.

Rejected

The Royal Scottish Academy.  Three exhibitions start on the 28th.  The RSW, SSA and VAS.  Today is the collection day for all entries not selected and it is very busy.

Door Knocker

Not just any knocker but the knocker from Alexander McCall Smith's "44 Scotland Street". To be more exact,the knocker on artist and illustrator Iain McIntosh's door, which he used as the basis for his design in the series. Needless to say it isn't in Scotland Street and not at any 44 either.

The Banana Flats

Correctly "Cables Wynd House" is an early 60's council development.  Home of "Sick Boy" from "Trainspotting". The flats have a distinct bend and hence the nickname.  Looking down Henderson Street in Leith.

Glenogle Baths

Well one of the entrances.

Snow

This is how the day started.  Miserably dull with a little of the white stuff. It then got worse and very wet.

Howe Street

The church is now a "venue".

Flood Works

Back to Stockbridge for the never ending work on the flood defences for the Water of Leith.  No posts due to trade show in Birmingham.
