Arthur's Seat behind Niddrie Mains Road

With the Showmen's site in front and a couple of ad boards.

Newcraighall Fire Station

As seen from slip road to Musselburgh By-pass. The new station opened in 1994.

Niddrie Burn

Niddrie Burn flows from the Braid hills down to the Firth. Here it runs between housing schemes in The Jewel and Brunstane area where there appears to be problems with local environmental issues; there is a restoration project being planned for the watercourse.

Kirk, Joppa

On Abercorn Terrace, just inland.

Richard Webb

National Cycle Route 1

Leaving Edinburgh through Brunstane. Approaches to the city combined with a mining heritage has left a maze of old railways here, some used as bike routes, as well as for power lines.

Richard Webb

Back greens, Newcraighall

And such a good drying day too. Newcraighall is a small village once dominated by coal mining. In those days the lines would have been very busy.

Richard Webb

Newcraighall Road and the Wisp.

Busy road junction between the A6095 and A6106 in southeast Edinburgh. Taken looking NE from what were the grounds of Niddrie House, now containing the fortified Jack Kane Centre. New flats with panoramic views of the traffic.

Richard Webb

Milking time, Cauldcoats.

Holstein Friesian herd at milking time. Someone carrying out the thankless task of being an urban fringe milk producer. Over half of Scotland's dairy farms have disappeared in the last 20 years. "Farm gate" prices for milk are desperately low.

Richard Webb

Colliery waste, Niddrie.

Looking north from Cauldcoats into NT3071, showing the urban fringe. The colliery sites are gradually being built over.

Richard Webb

Fort Kinnaird.

"Fort" has come to mean big shopping centre of the tin sheeting kind, probably derived from Fort Dunlop , once a Birmingham tyre factory, now a mall. This one is on the A1 at the edge of Edinburgh, and has been generating traffic jams for several years now. Looking north to Fife across what must be a doomed stubble field. The mall or Malls, there are actually two, are built on old collieries.

Burnt Out Cars

Niddrie and Craigmillar are often regarded as among the most deprived areas of Edinburgh. These burnt-out cars are on top of a large concrete sculpture of a man, which is visible from the air: Link

Gulliver 2

The Gulliver doesn't always have burnt-out cars on it!

Jack Kane Woods

The policy woodlands around the sports pitches at the Jack Kane Centre can be really beautiful at different times of the year.

Becky

Craigmillar Art Centre

A little oasis of community arts in the middle of consumer heaven ... not many people realise that this old church is an Art Centre, and it is now almost engulfed by the retail outlets of Fort Kinnaird.

Becky

Portobello High St.

Good place for second hand paperbacks, and a bowl of soup on the High St. No news of any event on at the WMD base, but there is a "debate" on what colour rubber stamp to use commissioning Trident's successor on at the moment.

Richard Webb

Fishmonger, Portobello High St.

Old fishmonger's sign attached to a surviving fishmonger. Most of the shops have gone or are charity shops thanks to the merciless pull of the nearby tin sheds. BTW stop slobbering, it's copies, not pies!
