Union Canal, Wester Hailes.
When they built the big Wester Hailes housing scheme the canal was destroyed severing the link with central Edinburgh and ending a long history of navigation.
Now boats are back, the canal was redug through the houses and is a real improvement to the area with wildlife and recreational use.

Sighthill Drive
There's a wide view here from the Union Canal towpath, which is elevated relative to the housing estates to the north. The angular white block with pink doorway is marked on the map as a place or worship.

New housing at Sighthill
A small apartment block almost completed. Looking across the A71 at Sighthill. I wonder what the overhang will be?
