Craigour Avenue

Prefab Bungalow

This view looks to the west towards one of the remaining prefab bungalows  in Craigour Avenue.  This bungalow is No 19, Craigour Avenue.

I was surprised to find several of these 1940s bungalows still in use when I visited the area in January 2008, and even more surprised to find one with a palm tree in the garden.

In the background are tower blocks on high ground at Moredun View.  They are, left to right:

Moncreiff House.

Forteviot House.
