The Bond

Gable wall of the old bonded warehouses in Anderson Place converted for business use.

New View

The complete demolition of the old works by the Water of Leith in Bonnington affords this new view over the Swanfield Industrial Estate to Great Junction Street, or at least the back of the tenements and over to the Banana Flats..

South Fort Street

Loking north.  The compressed view has the Newhaven Flour Mill at the back, about half a mile away.

Chilly View

Calton Hill towards the Forth and Leith.

Spring?

It has been very cold for several days and now we have snow again.  Summerside Street.

St Cuthbert's

Yet again.  Still looking for Napier but can't find him.  Will seek advice. These are the towers at the east end of the church.

National Gallery

Down at the Royal Academy collecting paintings from exhibition.  A Fire Engine in attendance at the National Gallery with the punters evacuated to the bitter cold.  The ones with coats in the cloakroom huddling in the Royal Academy. ? Well it certainly wasn't burning down.  Weekend in Ullapool and no internet so no posts.

Junk Pile

Dalton's scrap yard on Salamander Street in Leith has new flats being constructed next door.  The scrap pile has diminished and it looks like a move to the docks where this very large pile is growing.

Leith Links

Springlike in the Links this morning but the temperature has dropped and it isn't looking good.

Traffic Control

The workmen are back and bits of Ferry Road near us are again being dug up.  We now have a 4 way control at the busy junction with Newhaven Road and our street is closed off.  The queues can be enormous and the delays long.  Only anothr 3 months to go!

Rear View

The Dome of West Register House on Charlotte Square seen from the street behind.  The dome was reputed to be a scaled down version of St Paul's.

Vive la France

Well they did win yesterday. The French Consulate General in Randolph Crescent.

On Quensferry Road with the Towers of Stewart's Melville College.

Norwegian Arrival

Moored alongside Ocean Terminal, the Christian Radich.  The link shows her in full sail.

St Cuthbert's

To go with yesterday's post, the West Spire of the church.  I will have to go back as I couldn't find Mr Napier.

Thomas De Quincey

The gravestone of the writer famous for his "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater" in St Cuthbert's Graveyard.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_De_Quincey

East End

Looking over Waverley Station towards Calton Hill. From the left, the Martyrs memorial in the Calton Burial Ground, Calton Hill with the old Observatory, the remains of the New Prison, The Scottish Office, Nelson's Monument and the old Royal High School.

Return of Winter

Snow on the rooftops and lying in the side streets.  Very cold.  Looking down Hanover Street to Goldenacre in the distance and over the Forth (complete with container ship) to Fife.

University

Glasgow University to be precise, making a guest appearance.  Winter trying to reassert itself.

Stones

The "Stones of Scotland" by George Wyllie.  The Parliament on the right and Holyrood on the left.

Looking at Leith

From Calton Hill

"Weather"

This is pretty much the same photo as Saturday. Not a very nice morning. At least it isn't cold.

Portobello Sunrise

Edinburgh Academy

The Senior School in Henderson Row.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Academy

Fettes

From India Place.

Saxe Coburg Place

Again.  Once Spring is sprung you won't see the houses for the leaves.

Looking South

Took this as I walked round to work this morning. Bit of a jumble.
