Image: © M J Richardson Taken: 21 Jul 1971
Taken from a plane on its way into Turnhouse [now Edinburgh International Airport], approaching to Runway 30, now rarely used by passenger traffic. The green foreground is still there, but the fields in the middle distance are all now built upon. At the time of the photo they were part of the land of the Scottish Office Agricultural Scientific Services, now moved to a new site - see Image The 'new' Craigmount school, visible between flap and aileron, has been demolished and rebuilt in the playing field, to the right.
