Thank you to Al Lorentzen for allowing me to reproduce the top photograph
above, taken in 1971 in Gorgie Road, across the road from Hearts FC
stadium.
The entrance at 101 Gorgie
Road with the red signage, on the extreme left of this photo, was
to:
Reid & MacKay Ltd.
Coach Hirers |
Al describes this photo as:
"St.
Cuthbert milk delivery on a dismal morning in 'Auld Reekie'."

signs now partly hidden behind the pedestrian crossing traffic lights) is
now to:
Edinburgh Caravan Centre
and
Tynecastle Garage Sales |
