Great pics mate!

Edinburgh is a beautiful city, I just feel like it's not got a lot going for it at the moment.

Nah, Edinburgh is a fantastic city, absolutely gorgeous and brimming with atmosphere :)

Lovely shots there chief.

Great City - lived there for 6 years - miss it dearly! :)

I love the photos. Edinburgh is certainly a very photogenic city. So many opportunities for great pictures

Lovely shot, AW-d.

And desertpunk - I absolutely LOVE those pictures of the Forth bridges. Thanks for posting them!

Anyone seen the film The Illusionist, by Sylvain Chomet? (who also made The Triplets of Belleville) It's set in a beautifully animated version of Edinburgh.

This picture below is from an isolated main stand under 're-construction/renovation', allegedly related to one of the pre-Murrayfield rugby grounds. I recall it being 'in the proximity' of Tynecastle Park somewhere in the late nineties.

Anybody shedding a light please?

Not particularly near Tynecastle though (perhaps thinking of Myreside?)
