Looking northwards out of a 4th floor flat to the Old Town and Edinburgh Castle. The road shown is a major artery leading out to the south of the city and the spire beyond the links is Barclay Kirk.

Taken from a nearby flat, folk playing in the snow at around midnight. The links are the site of a plague burial ground, hence the numerous mounds and depressions. It is also an ancient golf course.

Dist:0.1km<br/>St Kentigerns Church, Edinburgh, is a former Episcopalian church which is surrounded by the on-going development of Fountainbridge and the Union Canal. Built in 1897, it was designed by John More Dick Peddie, a prolific Scottish architect working at the end of the 19th century and the designer of the striking Caledonian Hotel building in Edinburgh. It ceased to be used as a church in 1941 and was subsequently used as a nursery and a garage. The church is now threatened with demolition to make way for a three storey building for housing (18 apartments), restaurant and bar. However, the Edinburgh heritage body, the Cockburn Association have objected to this proposal on the grounds that the church is one of the few buildings of historic interest on this section of the canal.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The centre is in Viewforth Terrace. This view from a guest house in Hartington Place shows how the single storey centre extends to the back of its plot, with daylight from roof lights. The centre continues to the left as a two-storey section, then another single storey part.
