Of course scaffies had one to put their sweepings in when cleaning their given area. Barrows and carties were common means of transportation in times like the picture because of the tram lines was probably pre 1956. Used the particular tram line a lot to go to school in Viewforth and again to work in Viewforth. The 13 and 14 Granton Circle routes, and the #5 Morningside to Piershill route. It seems and I guess it is so long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a long time ago so might be remembering it wrong. Was the drying area not next to the door for the stairs and bin chute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRummy Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Just now, Herbert said: Was the drying area not next to the door for the stairs and bin chute? Possibly aye. I’m getting jumbled between two different flats I’ve lived in I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the back "gardens" in Davie Street, with some occupying the strategically superior higher ground and chucking stanes at each other when I was hit by a brick. My mother about fainted when I showed up at the door and hauled me over to the Deaconess for stitches. Was told afterwards that the brick had broke in half.
