I dont think ive ever seen that street so empty haha
Is it Cockburn street? I can’t tell with all the snow
Looks like cockburn but it isnt. Only been to edinbourgh a few times, but ive definitely been there. Iirc there is an armoury down the hill.
Edit: asked my friend. Its victoria street. Miariachi on the left of the picture
Ah ok. I see street with a bend like that and I assume Cockburn haha. Thanks for confirming!
Oh youre not alone! I was confused for a sec myself, hence i asked a native that guided me through town few times
a turn like that would def make a Cockburn
OMG! People LIVE in SCOTLAND! /jk
The sheer number of chimneys.
Old buildings with lack of central heat go brrrrr.
(I assume)
I know those. Auntie Alice used to live in such a house. Large house (with a servants flat at the top, actually, which was where her MIL lived years ago), no insulation, drafty, single-pane windows and installations that look rather pre-war to me.
Could be any kind of vents. The entire city has had a ban on chimney smoke since 1995.
The old chimneys are kept for architectural preference.
I figured that the heating systems would be updated, but overexplaining that would’ve ruined the [attempt at] humor.
There’s chimneys like that EVERYWHERE in Scotland
You can only really avoid them if you go to one of the new towns
Yes, I was thinking of what it would have been like when they were new and all belching coal smoke across the country.
This reminds me of one part of a course in Cool Boarders 2: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FkXdEZudqxc (beginning at 4:20)
Sled that hill!
This would be good for tobogganing
This street desperately needs some greenery in the form of trees or at least some bushes. This just looks…sad.
Ah, the city of my birth!
As opposed to Edinburgh, Kentucky?
There’s a Dunedin in New Zealand, that technically counts!
There’s a Birmingham in Alabama… They’re both shit.
Sure and as cool as it is (great museum!) it’s not a capital city.
