This view looks to the south up Bellvue
Road towards Bellvue School, now Drummond Community High School.
The horse in the picture is 'Ginger', 24
years old and about to be retired. The man
in the donkey jacket is Brian McVey
This
photograph was taken on January 26, 1985, the last day that St Cuthbert's
used horse-drawn floats to deliver milk in Edinburgh, after 125 years of
operation.

"I saw this picture and thought I'd let you
know that the milkman on the right was James Hume, originally from Balfour
Street, Leith. He was my Mum’s cousin, my second cousin.
Sadly, James died this year but I remember him
well."
