Time and Tide
Image: © M J Richardson Taken: 20 Sep 2007
An interesting 'clock' at Craiglea Clocks on Comiston Road. The front face tells the normal time, the right hand face [out of sight] is a barometer, but the left hand face is a tide clock, that indicates the state of the tide [I presume in the Firth of Forth] - high, ebbing, low or flooding - and the phase of the moon. Alas, no longer there! I recently noticed [July 2011] that it was missing, and was told it needed too much maintenance, so it was sent to the tip - what a shame!
