It’s just over a year since we moved to the New Town in Edinburgh. Time to collect some of the images from the year.
Reflecting the Georgian buildings in a large puddle next to the railings for Queen Street Gardens. 29 October 2023
North Edinburgh has many good walking paths, many of them converted from the railway network which used to connect Granton and Leith with the city. This is the Great Junction Street bridge over the Water of Leith. 9 November 2023
This is the new terminus for the tram service, which now runs from the airport to Newhaven. We often walk by one or other of the railway paths to Newhaven harbour, then along to the tram stop to return to town. 27 June 2023
Newhaven harbour, taken from the lighthouse. A few pleasure craft and small fishing boats moored; it’s also where the tenders from the big cruise ships come in. 13 April 2023
The Port of Leith takes much bigger ships. This is the Apache II, a pipe laying vessel. 7 January 2023
