Piershill Barracks Early 1900s |
|
The View Piershill Barracks were situated to the east of Jock's Lodge, on the northern side of Portobello Road, the main road from Edinburgh to Portobello. I believe that the postcard above may show the 51st Battery of the Royal Field Artillery. I don't know for how long they were based at Piershill, but they were there in 1909 |

The Postcard This postcard was sold by H Adamson, Stationer, Piershill, Edinburgh. It is the only card that I have seen bearing H Adamson's name. This card has not been posted. |
