A medium-angle shot on a bright day captures the historic Duddingston Kirk, a Scottish church with warm, sunlit stone walls and a steep, dark grey roof. The building, standing tall, boasts a large, arched window at its center, flanked by smaller, intricate carvings and a dark wooden door to the left. To the far left, a lush green tree with hints of autumn foliage peeks into the frame, while to the right, a darker, evergreen tree stands sentinel, partially obscuring the view of distant autumn trees ablaze with orange and red. In the foreground, a vibrant green lawn, dotted with fallen leaves, slopes gently downwards, revealing several aged, grey tombstones that lean in various directions. A narrow, grey path, almost blending with the earth, leads towards the church, guiding the eye through this serene, ancient scene. The sky above is a brilliant, cloudless blue, gradually fading to a lighter hue on the right horizon.

Watching a Kingfisher is better with two birds.
I particularly like the coughing up the bolus (pellet).

advertising of ETRO/21/26A and ETRO/21/28A and to proceed to make most of the
trial measures permanent under two Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs).

screenshot of officers' response to objections about bollarded routes in general and London Rd in particular [we agree some changes needed at one London Rd point].

As far as we could gather, Cllr Lang verbal objection was merely that it is not stated when there will be funding for upgrades, but in reality the deferral puts all the schemes at risk

Report extract...

mpact on road
safety for
cyclists
Most of the objections around this theme were
raised against the measures on London Road but
also against all corridors where the new
restrictions have enabled the implementation of
soft segregated cycle tracks.
Segregation improves safety for cyclists since
these have their allocated road space separated
from other traffic by physical barriers.
All measures were subject to a Road Safety Audit.
Concerns around this theme were also raised in
relation to the road surface (see theme 14), as well
as to the maneuvers required by cyclists at bus
stops or junctions. The risks raised by the
objectors are largely a factor of the trial nature of
the measures.
Should the
measures be made
permanent,
consideration will be
given to upgrading
the temporary
materials used
during the trial to
permanent materials
and to the use of
alternative design
details to address
specific concerns
raised.

👍 Officers recommend making #Duddingston, #A1 & other East Ed #TravellingSafely routes permanent

-> democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s8...

🤔 Intervention at TROsub Cttee by #CllrLang results in deferral

😧 Legally, the routes will be scrapped if not approved by October when ETRO/21/28A expires

When cycling along the Innocent Railway path at night, does anybody else hear and feel a bike behind them, but, when they look, there’s nothing there?

Thomson Tower was designed by the architect W H Playfair as a meeting place of the Duddingston Curling Society, whose members invented the game of curling. It was also used to store the curling stones. The upper floor was an artist's studio for the minister of the Kirk. #Edinburgh #Duddingston
