Anyone else remember the Piltin men meeting every Sunday in the Circus park, all ages, everyone welcome, jerseys for goal posts, twenty or more a side sometimes. Those were the days.

I think this one has definitely been posted before, however, i think it highlights perfectly how Edinburgh became known as Auld Reekie, imagine this duplicated all over our city and it must have been Smog Central Another "Auld Reekie" image.

Sharpie Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 That was the Edinburgh of my childhood, men at the bools, the fires burning, chimneys smoking and knowing its there can even make out the Dumbiedykes police box at the foot of Arthur Street at the gate to the park near the Parkies house. So many times sat in that box, called Braid Place to make my hourly call, fourteen at fourteen.That was the beat PC reporting his beat and box #s. Fourteen was a night beat, Simon Square the full day shift beat box nine at thirteen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it has been there since birth you never even noticed it, may have had something o do with the fact I was a non smoker, and only started for a while when I first came to Canada. I guess my lungs must have been craving for some smoke. There was lots of coughing, and men spitting to the extent there were signs on the lampposts saying no spitting on the pavement, but I guess it was ok to hawk a biggie in the gutter, which was where the dogs had to crap.

Can smell the breweries now, 1130am here now just about pundy time. Another treasure trove of memories for me.
