Near the site of East Pilton Halt. The cyclist is emerging from the site of City Park, the first home of Ferranti Thistle FC, a former works side who are now a Premiership side playing in Livingston. They beat Celtic soon after this was taken. The last match played here, in 2004 was coincidently a cup tie between Spartans and Livingston. Spartans then moved to new facilities nearby at Ainslie Park. Another coincidence is that the supporters of Ferranti Thistle/Meadowbank Thistle/Livingston, unhappy with the move out of Edinburgh bought Edinburgh City, who now groundshare with Spartans.
