I regularly have to delete spam accounts that join the group, so it makes it much easier to identify you as a real person if you have a pic and a bio folks. Wanna keep the environment top quality. Much appreciated all. Hope you’re all ready for Christmas! 👍🏽 🎄

I thought I’d do a wee post on winter and summer views by the Union canal. This is a great walk either in or out from town to or from the canal basin at Fountainbridge to Harrison Park. Fairly lively with walkers with or without dogs, runners, cyclists and boats. Very verdant in the summer (think you’ll notice the colours) not so much in Dec but still beautiful. Winter first then summer. I threw in a pic of a fir tree with decorations by locals, swan family, canal basin and sculptures. Hope you enjoy and go walking to see it yourselves.

Lovely Bruntsfield links sky this morning ❤️

Edinburgh is a great place for interesting buildings and these two examples are ones I passed by not so long ago. The oldest is the old St Cuthberts CO-OP building in Fountainbridge which was built in the 1880s. Lovely old style often called Scottish vernacular including a crows staircase and somewhat unique cannon like projections. The site included a dairy which employed a young Sean Connery before his Bond days 😁. Now a Loudons cafe below not Scotmid. I walk past it on my way to the meadows. The other is a unique community housing development off Slateford built 1998-2000, looking rather nice in the winter sun. Visually interesting, you either love it or not. As far as I know no film stars involved but you never know. Great example of old and new which can be found all over Edinburgh 😁

Fair play to this lady for getting out there and getting her run done.
