In 1858-9 they've moved to 4 Teviot Row but only have seemed to have lasted a couple of years there. I'm assuming Teviot Row was demolished too. Bloody Jonah's that Stormonth guy.

The bus has either come from Oxgangs or from Buckstone/Fairmilehead direction. I think it’s the number 15 which means it started at Hillend sort of area. If it’s the 16 it’s come from Oxgangs. The next stop it’ll be at, on the way down into Morningside, is the one outside South Morningside Primary School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
