It is a part of Edinburgh I am not too familiar with. Google says that St Bernards played at the Royal Gymnasium Ground and on maps it looks like it was where King George V Park is now. If that is right (or wrong) I have learned something new today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother went to watch him one game and hears a man say kick the bloody ball Jimmy dinnae nurse it. It seems Jimmy was either guilty of nursing the ball, or when not kicking or hitting other players hence his regular suspensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is right (or wrong) I have learned something new today. I think its likely to be Meadowbank with the tenements being in the background. If it was Powderhall from that angle of the photo the tenements would be in the position of Warriston cemetery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in Fountainbridge, not quite the city centre but the changes there and Morrision Street are massive, don't think my brother who's been in South Africa for about 40 years would recognise the place.
