Going back to two, is the bus westbound on Coates Place (I think that is its name, the stretch west of Shandwick Place), before it enters the Haymarket Gyratory?
Is 2 Queen Street?
5 is Cammo Tower I think.
I think the same.Quote:

Is 5 Cammo Tower out near Turnhouse?
Edit: Just seen someone has already mentioned it.
2 is Shandwick Place, or just leading onto it. Isn’t it?
Is photo 1 in Bruntsfield?
I think whoever said Greyfriars earlier is right for number 1.Quote:

All thread, I’ve had this incessant nagging voice saying ‘That’s somewhere around the Astley’.
If it’s not, then I will probably need to check into a hospital but it won’t be Astley Ainslie :greengrin
And is number three St. Giles?
I thought it might be the Sikh Temple in Leith but I'm doubting myself now.Quote:

OK so near Holy Corner and not necessarily a church but next door to something. I probably spend way too much time on things like this but they always get me to do a bit of research.Quote:

It actually looks like it should be beside or part of Cloisters but I think that is too far from your reference.
I thought it was a cemetery earlier, in fact I was going to guess Calton, but the more I looked at it the more I thought it wasn’t a burial ground. I used to stay in Morningside and have been at the Astley countless times in the past for work reasons and it just really makes me think it is that neck of the woods.Quote:

What a farce, I wasted most of this week on this. Only joking, it is a great idea for a thread.
I have a few photos that would work well in this thread, just not sure how to upload and if it is ok to do so.
Yes, it is absolutely fine to do so.Quote:
