They were demolished in 1991. The two blocks were Tweedsmuir and Teviotbank Houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at it on Google maps, but was a bit confused as the building at the back on it seemed to have 2 stories. Then I noticed that the bottom storey windows are actually below ground level, so you couldn't see them in the posted image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to think about where only the 21 and 34 served a bus stop. I can only remember back to the 70's when the 34 went from Sighthill to Lochend and the 21 went from Broomhouse to Greendykes and those routes don't tie up.

Is that not at the back of Leith Links beside the tennis courts, and where that Newsagent is goes down to the Bowlers Rest on Mitchell Street. The 34 could have went down Lochend Road, around Leith Links, past the old Leith Academy, then along Junction Street on to Leith Walk.
