Radio Ga Ga Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 This photo is around 150 years old, I often wonder what our future generations will think when they look back 150 years to the 2020’s and even further three hundred years!

J.T.F.Robertson Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Sharpie said: Horse back riders were quite common in the day. There was a Riding School not far away and they used to bring their learners on their mounts to the Park. Boy that park was something, horses, sheep, kids all over the area, older folks out for walks, a few cars, parkies who had houses at some of the gates keeping order, The names, the wee hill,echo rock, the gutted haddie, the basin. the crags, the bog, the valley, the high road, the low road, if you were a local kid and didn't know them all you were probably a candidate for Duncan Street School the place for the slow learners. Used to play fitbaw in "the basin", there and the Meadows at (not in) the tennis courts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The I went to the Craigmillar areas and lo and behold who joined me but some of those same people to the new Niddrie Mill scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly will not look at the open spaces there are in some of these old pictures, and the lack of vehicles. It really makes you feel old when you realise that so much of what is in some of these old photos was part of your childhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, just meant thinking that far ahead assumes a lot of "things" don't happen. That aside, Bob, I can't imagine how tough it will be for you this "festive" season but we both wish you the best. If you were here we'd have you up in a minute, Covid or no ****ing Covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is that? https://www.facebook.com/lostedinburgh/photos/a.681358185255201/3268497893207871/?type=3 A lovely shot of the Lord Darnley Tavern that used to sit on the Canongate, circa 1930. Note the sign advertising to interested ( and thirsty ) passers-by that there was a waistcoat on view inside that had purportedly belonged to the scheming fellow himself! He came to a bad end waistcoat or not. He was found strangled in the grounds of Kirk o’ Field in 1567 having avoided being blown up when his house mysteriously exploded. Anyone remember this watering hole? Edited December 19, 2020 by NANOJAMBO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
