    Stunning photo of Easter Road

    A view I've never seen before – Easter Road in the shadow of Arthur's Seat.

    There aren't many stadiums in the world with such an amazing backdrop.

    Impressive. Newlands Cricket Ground shades it though, Table Mountain in the background, stunning.

    Why us? Because we’re here, there ain’t nobody else!

    Did I ever see a Zulu walk down the Old Kent Road?

    Thats it I’m out of here I’ve done my bit!.....Simon Murray

    Great movie! All time favourite.

    I`d guess like a lot of sports teams aslong as you don`t have a telephoto lens it will be ok,have seen people before with bridge cameras at games.

    It's a shame it doesn't look like that to the naked eye. Telephoto lens makes Arthur's Seat look much closer and bigger than it actually is.

    Feel like it would be a lot better if you could see the street. Almost seems like the photo has been cropped. Still a nice photo though.
