Former industrial building, Restalrig
There was once a large textiles factory on this site. Most of the industrial buildings have been demolished but this looks like a survivor.

Munrospun factory, Restalrig
The former Munrospun knitwear factory which ceased operations in 1970. The buildings were taken over by Kinloch Anderson, makers of kilts and tartan accessories, until they closed operations there in 1989. It was converted into modern flats shortly thereafter.

Building Site
There were men with diggers working on what one of them thought might have been a school for disabled children. No doubt the site will soon be occupied by flats.

St Ninian's R.C. Primary School
An unusual architectural style for this school building on Restalrig Road South. I have not been able to find any history of the building, but there are references to the school dating back to 1937, so possibly it dates from before that period. The building extends a long way back, and into a hard surface playground.

Craigentinny House, Loaning Road
A 16thC "Scoto-French château" (James Grant), built for the Nisbet family, whose lands were sold in the 18thC to a Quaker seed merchant, William Miller. His son was the eccentric bibliophile, William Henry Miller, who ordered his mausoleum on the estate to be dug to a depth of forty feet below ground level. The house, damaged by a stray German bomb in 1942, is now used by the City Council's Social Work Department.
