Even somewhere as grim as a drive in tinshed shopping centre can be enlivened by a few weeds. Opportunistic plants putting on a summer display on disturbed land next to the carpark. This was once the site of a colliery, but is now handily placed beside the Edinburgh bypass. There is also a familiar big blue/yellow box here, but it is shared with the square next door.
