It’s been a while, but here I present a few photos of the Aurora Borealis in Portobello, Edinburgh. Hopefully will add more soon.


What if i said Leith has a beach?
Above is the little that remains of Leith Sands, a once long strip of beach that had historical significance. Home to horse racing, duels, pirate execution!

As we slowly emerge from lock down, some restrictions are eased I managed to get a wee wander around the city. Still very quiet, very eerie, it seems somewhat Post-apocalyptic, yes one should stop being so melodramatic.
Most of the photos were taken on a Sunday afternoon, this would never be possible in normal circumstances.

The Innocent Railway, opened in 1831 for the purpose of transporting coal from Dalkeith to Edinburgh. Called the Innocent Railway Path as it was originally horse-drawn in a time where steam dangerous were though of as dangerous.
