Is that the car park just down the hill from the old Abbey hill station? I recognise (I think) the old Abbey church and the back of the tenements on Cadzow place.

Nope, that's not Bar-Ox land.

 

Looks like it to me, looking through Oxgangs drive.

It looks like Oxgangs, but can’t put my finger on exactly where, as it’s before my time. On that note though, I had read somewhere online, that in the building of those old flats in and around that area, there was a workman admitted to the Old Royal Infirmary, who had lost a couple of fingers.

It's 100% not Oxgangs.

 

The perspective of the photo is deceiving.

It's a lot further away than you think.
