Shrubhill

Now called The Engine Yard and converted to residential housing. This building was a tram depot, then a bus depot. Lots of pictures taken before the redevelopment at Canmore 

"Opened in 1898, the Shrubhill Tramway Workshops and Power Station in Shrub Hill was part of the cable-tram system in the city being rolled out by Edinburgh and District Tramways, who had taken over the horse-drawn lines of Edinburgh Street Tramways. The site had previously housed stables for the horse-drawn trams." from EdinburghLive story.

We walked round Pilrig Park after this, down to the Water of Leith (in extra) then back by Bonnington Grove to the Warriston Path. 

A mild calm day, 6C high. A fine start to the New Year.
