Abbeyhill from Montrose Terrace
View of London Road at the junction which, as far as I'm concerned, is the heart of Abbeyhill. The road runs along the ridge, i.e. the hill, although historically the name covers the extensive area sloping southwards towards Holyrood Palace. The 'rows' of colony housing seen here really mark its northern boundary.

Old gateposts, Montrose Terrace
Two gateposts that once belonged to Abbeyhill House, the residence of Fletcher Norton, an English barrister appointed Baron of the [Scottish] Exchequer in 1776. He died in 1820. Although the house has vanished, the family name is perpetuated in the names of several streets built on the former estate in the Abbeyhill area. Norton Place was renamed Montrose Terrace in 1876.
"Sat awhile with Lord Kames in the forenoon. Found Mr Baron Norton sitting with him. He was violent against the people at large having the choice of their representatives in Parliament because they in his opinion were not proper judges, and much riot is occasioned by popular elections. I spoke keenly on the other side. Put him in a passion..." -- James Boswell, 5th December 1782

Bins full, London Road, Edinburgh
At least people are tying the bags and hanging them on the fence so they don't blow away, although whether the shopping trolley is used for bringing extra rubbish is unclear.
