Judging by the footmarks it's interactive and clearly lights up - mining museum of some sort? I can see your logic. Some info: It's outside, exists due to the Covid 19 pandemic, and isn't in the UK.

The building is the old 1st year 'Annexe' for Porty High pupils which has evil memories for 70's kids, and is now residential. Being able to recognise the Figgy Park so quickly?

Hmmm ... 😁 The biggest clue was "Edinburgh" I walked the whole length of the Bonaly/Braid/Figgate burn a few years ago, but I'm much more familiar with the first two named sections, which I have walked many times previously. There are sections of the burn that are similar to each other, but it was the pond that gave it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a spell between 10-15 years ago that I did a lot of walking, typically 8-10 miles a day, so I've done all the paths, river/burn walks, canal, proms, parks around the city, the Pentlands and elsewhere. Sometimes it was a loop, sometimes a one way walk and a bus back, or occasionally take the car somewhere and do the same from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) That pond brings back memories right enough My first and recurrent nightmare was after my older brother told me it was artificial when I was about 6. I had this dream it had been drained out and i was stuck in the bottom of it - it was about 12 ft high at the sides. There were four 10 feet high doors and from somewhere behind them there was a horrible growling noise , I couldn't distinguish which door the noise was coming from but it was getting closer - I had to choose a door to pen but it might be the one with the monster approaching Still gives me the heebeegeebies thinking about that and it came to mind as soon as I saw the picture.
