@john_auldtoon @jomowat Couldn’t believe it when I saw this go up. Obnoxious, ugly, selfish. Glad you’ve flagged it John.
@EdinburghDetour @theSpurtle It was a really enjoyable tour, especially having read the McLevy stories/memoirs.
@theSpurtle @EdinburghDetour From memory I think James McLevy's writings talk about the area as being known as Little Ireland in the 1840s
@theSpurtle There's a few along the Cowgate. I first noticed them after lockdown when I went on an @EdinburghDetour walk, which covered James Connolly and the history of Little Ireland. There's a plaque to Connolly and one of these under George IV Bridge.
@tenacrefilms Arrived yesterday and read cover to cover this morning. Full of detail and delight - such a joy, thank you to all who contributed.
@CandysEyes @NDSreview No problem at all, glad you're sorted, hope you have a great week!
@CandysEyes Hi - saw your tweet retweeted by @NDSreview. I live central Edinburgh and have an old iPhone I can lend you if you still need it. Hope you're OK, the city can be overwhelming. Best wishes.
@lnr_models Hi - would love one of these A how can I order direct?
@VictorianLondon George Gutch's plans for Tyburnia also included a Polygon, I remember, but I don't think it was the same design - not sure if St John's church replaced it.
@ThelmaScotland @cocteautriplets Ah - here it is movingimage.nls.uk/film/6224
@ThelmaScotland @cocteautriplets I can’t find a live link right now, but Margaret Tait’s short film Rose Street features this corner and I think the exterior and interior of this pub. It’s a lovely piece, with kids playing down the side of the pub, deliverymen and window shoppers.
@sos_street @Edinburgh_CC Yes. As the weather warms, I'm bracing for the 3am wake-ups and reasoning with them out of the window.
@sos_street @Edinburgh_CC I agree. I wish the Council had taken a different decision. The rejoicing of the Edinburgh business accounts when the no-enforcement policy was announced made me quite queasy. No sense of business responsibility for the downsides here, no neighbourliness.
@Edinburgh_CC @sos_street Council cld put a CCTV camera on the back of their own building to monitor it if they wanted. Wireless one's about 50 quid. I'm being glib, but it's surely possible to find some way of enforcing their own policies and traffic law. They've got the bollards, let's see them use them
@Edinburgh_CC This is precise area @sos_street posts daily, and this area only. Difficult not to see this as trying to make visible problem go away w/o creating what is actually needed while eating platforms persist - an actual loading bay, w/lorries not let onto the street unless it's free.
@EdinReporter @sos_street Yes, @sos_street has been tireless on this and these measures would not have been taken without their constant pressure. But these measures do not solve the problem - at best they just move it to a part of the street where the Council won't get as much grief. The bare minimum.
@Edinburgh_CC Businesses need to recover. But it's really difficult not to look out of my window every day and see contempt for people who live here, and those who visit and want to walk, use pushchairs or wheelchairs on the pavement. Why are these businesses content to be such bad neighbours?
@Edinburgh_CC This has been a baffling failure of planning and common sense. Roadway annexed by businesses that also need deliveries to service them, but no thought at all about how that happens. People eat on the road, lorries park on the pavement. Same businesses taking priority twice over.
