OPEN-MINDED OPTION

Submitted by Editor on
Whilst most of us will have welcomed today’s early drenching, spare a thought for the owner of this 3-wheeled curiosity spotted on Cochran Terrace.
 
Half car, half tubo, it’s a 620 cc Pembleton Super SP and – contrary to its antique appearance – was assembled from kit as recently as 2014.
 
We think it’s the same vehicle advertised for sale in Southampton earlier this summer, but it's certainly the same one lovingly recorded here 2 years ago.

On climbing the steps to a crowded Old Town in full Festival heat and clamour … 

the devil is in the detail.

PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE – THE VIEW FROM BELLEVUE

Submitted by Editor on

Today's evening spectacle was of course interesting to serious astronomers and general gawpers at the heavens alike.

But it was also a pleasingly social event.

Calton Hill was rammed: a chattering, laughing and marvelling super-spreader event enjoyed by all.

We witnessed locals lending eclipse-specs to passing strangers from a bench in Mansfield Place. Smiles all round.

BUS STOPS TAPSALTEIRIE

Submitted by Editor on

The two bus stops on Drummond Place are for the convenience of passengers using the Service 9 and Service 13 routes.

 

Signage on the northbound stop (for customers en route to Muirhouse and Restalrig) confusingly clarifies that  buses here are headed ‘To City’. 

 

Signage on the southbound stop (for those travelling towards King’s Buildings and Craigleith) misleadingly makes clear that buses here are coming ‘From City’.
