John Knox's House

Watery morning light in the High Street. Looking a bit tired, could do with a makeover.

With the green space of Greyfriars and the modern buildings sticking out like sore thumbs.

Granton Harbour

Passing this morning, phone again, definitely an improvement on the old one. Moorings filling up, summer must be here.  http://www.rfyc.org/

Malleny House

In Balerno in south Edinburgh owned, I think,  by the National Trust for Scotland but privately occupied.  The garden is open all year and is an NTS property.

Fettes College

Fettes is really a school rather than a college.  It is a Public School and therefore private.  Tony Blair would be it's most infamous former pupil.

The International Brigade

Appropriate, I think, for May Day. A plaque in Princes Street Gardens.
