Old bollard
This bollard originally stood outside the old GPO at 16-20 Waterloo Place. It was later moved to stand outside the later GPO at the corner of North Bridge. The premises are now the Waverley Gate offices. It was from this bollard that 5 miles was measured on all radial roads and some cross roads around Edinburgh. Stones were set up in 1824, each stating that they were erected to'Regulate the Post Horse Duties payable by Hackney Coach'. In 1823 an Act had been passed (4 Geo IV Cap.62) which took effect from 31 January 1824. Eight of the original stones can still be seen in an arc from Queensferry Road to Fisherrow.

Bicycle chained to railings
On the south side of Waterloo Place at the end of The Great North Road. An old frame given a new lease of street-cred life. I like this bike.

Leith Street, Edinburgh
The street is currently closed to traffic and much of it is hidden behind solid looking hoardings. The works are associated with the large scale construction project currently taking place on the site of the former St James Centre. Some of the plant used in the project can be glimpsed over the hoardings.
