Some parts of the developed as housing, hotels, casino and the Scottish Executive Office, but other parts are still used by shipping.

Now, much of Leith Docks is 'out of bounds'.  However, Ocean Terminal now offers good views of some parts of the docks.

In the 1990s, it was possible to wander around almost the whole docks with a camera.   Here are a few photos taken from around 1990 onwards.

___________________________________________________

I thought it might be interesting to photograph LRT buses (now Lothian Buses) at each terminus around the city.

Over the years, the style of buses has been changing, and the positions of some of the termini have changed.

I've now photographed each end of each of the 57 routes, but have not yet added all the photos to the web site.

I've found a good variety of scenery at these termini.

Here are some of the photos for Routes 1, 2 and 3:

    Photos of Shops

    1990s

    I began photographing shop fronts around Edinburgh in the 1990s. 

    Sometimes the road was clear in front of the shops, but often there was a car parked 'in the way'.

    Then I noticed:

    -  Sometimes I felt that the car added to the character of the photo.

    491 Lawnmarket

    Shop and Car at 491 Lawnmarket, Old Town, Edinburgh

    -   Sometimes the car colour matched the shop colour.

        So I started looking for more matching cars and shops.

        Here are a few that I found:

    Citroen 2CVs

    I particularly liked the Citroen 2CV cars

    They were not too large and were often painted in attractive two-tone shades.

    I started photographing 2CVs parked in front of shops.

    Then, I went on to take more photos of 2CVs parked around Edinburgh, but without the shops!

CARS

 

  • After enjoying photographing the cars around Edinburgh, I investigated a little more.

  • I particularly liked 2CV  -  small, often brightly coloured, driven by enthusiasts

  • I discovered the Citroen 2CVGB club, joined it and went on outings with them.

  • I don't know what they thought of me - the only member on the outings who was driving an Audi!

  • I attended the World Meeting of Citroen 2CVs, held in Kelso in 2005 and took the photos below there.
