Well, they also had one of a "house on Warrender Park Road" which was actually a pub and local novelty bicycle emporium on Marchmont Crescent; a block away. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10225#post-111159 Mon, 20 May 2013 10:36:41 +0000 Bhachgen 111159@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks like the steps up to the community centre level in the Kirkgate Centre. EEN must have just searched their picture library for "Police+Leith+bridge" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10225#post-111156 Mon, 20 May 2013 10:26:28 +0000 kaputnik 111156@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/latest-news/hunt-after-water-of-leith-robbery-bid-1-2937036">Hunt after Water of Leith robbery bid</a></p> <p><em>Police Scotland are appealing for witnesses following an attempted robbery on the Water of Leith walkway.

I tweeted them yesterday about a huge amount of glass on Blackhall path and found it swept away by the time I rode home 5 hours later. I hope you are ok I_am_lono and that the path is clear for you in future. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5897#post-63011 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 17:45:46 +0000 chdot 63011@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sounds like a job for -</p> <p><a href="http://twitter.com/north_team" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/north_team</a></p> <p>Usually quick to react. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5897#post-63010 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 17:33:25 +0000 I_am_Lono 63010@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just to warn all two-wheelers using the WOL path down towards Leith. The bridge that runs under Newhaven Road has been renovated lately, but the bods that have done it haven't exactly been Kim-&amp;-Aggie in their clean-up approach, meaning that there's a Flintstone-set-designer's-wet-dream amount of rocks lying about there. Coming home the other night, and doing about 20mph in the dark but with adequate lighting, I slammed right into one of these lovely nuggets and had a painful reunion with terra firma. Thanks to the unknown soldier that stopped to see if I was ok (I was, besides a swellbow and a shredded Rapha jersey). I can't be sure, but it seemed unusual that a 8" piece of rock found its way into the middle of the path under a dark bridge without some human intervention. So, take it easy coming through there from now on unless you're running some full-beam lighting set- </p>
