Used to be a quarry, now a mature woodland. A lovely place for a wander - it changes so much throughout the seasons.

This is where Wauchope Square used to be - it's a bit empty for now, between old flats coming down and new ones going up. However, this does provide a good view over to Arthur's Seat from Niddrie Mains Road! And in the distance there you can see the community centre (yellow/orange building), which is historically important within the community.

It's a bit of a landmark is this building. But the sky on this day was particularly amazing.

This is an old hedgerow along the boundary between the Thistle Foundation and Greendykes Avenue. Greendykes has many old hedgerows, which I really hope won't disappear in the regeneration process.

The current map has this as houses. Housing stock in Niddrie was very poor and it seems that much of the area has been levelled. There are lots of new Scandinavian looking blocks of flats in some parts. No doubt this "field" will be built upon soon. (There are new houses behind the camera.)

Dist:0.2km<br/>The maps are still out of date for this area of Edinburgh. The houses that once stood beyond the A6095 were levelled some time ago; grass is all that remains.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The demolition phase of unsuccessful social housing, the precursor to the regeneration of an area of neglect and deprivation going back many decades. Edinburgh's Arthur's Seat in the background. For the next stage in the regeneration, see [[574016]].
