trace

On my broken-gear-cable-derived walk in yesterday I noticed the bloody prints of some bare feet heading mostly westwards along the Grassmarket. Back when I used to walk in most days along Lauriston Place back when Lauriston Place was still the site of the Royal Infirmary it was relatively common to see drops of blood making their way erratically along to the A&E entrance. I was pleased to discover today that the footprints made their way at least as far as East Fountainbridge, still heading mostly westwards though apparently having an indecisive moment just outside the new building next to the Sainsbury on West Port.
