CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
People looking for an alternative may like to give Timberyard a go.
Will be opening at 8:00 from September for coffee, pastries and light breakfasts.
With an internal (outside) courtyard if the weather holds.
Lots of railings across the road, though it should be OK to take in the odd 'too expensive to leave on the street' bike.
Also chance for a bit of art/wildlife spotting.
Nice fancy photos on website - but where is it?
looks like one of the Elm Row pigeons. Same artist?
"but where is it?"
Good question!
Clearly their web site needs updating!
The opening has been delayed at least twice (I think it's officially Saturday).
Lady Lawson Street.
Used to be Lawson's Timber.
Opposite this (with railings in between).
"looks like one of the Elm Row pigeons. Same artist?"
YES
.
it was a sad day when they closed. Same set up since it opened decades back, cellar, roof space etc. cut you any size of wood. I spotted the work ongoing couple of weeks back and didn't realise it was going to be a cafe. I will check this one out for sure.
chdot, yes - good location, might be do-able as alt to PY.
Gembo - agreed, was a great place - nothing like it exists now, classic use it or lose it scenario (same applies to LBS)
5 minutes walk from my office, I'll be popping in for lunch...
lawson's moved to Bankhead but just not the same. The family behind the restaurant ran Blue and Atrim at the traverse which were pricey but good and very pricey but good respectively, only ever ate in atrium once before children but the night we were in they won a prestigious award and we all were given a free glass of bubbly. There is mention of copenhagen in the list review so maybe the wood burning stove will be a Morso?
There's even a 'try-out' area close by...

Hmmm, looks like the morning opening hasn't translated to reality.
Timberyard is open Tuesday to Saturday from 12:00 to 2:00, & 5:30 to 10:00 & Sundays 10:00 to 4:00.
Light refreshments are served in the entrance cafe from 8:00 in the morning.
Please contact Timberyard to discuss private hire of any space, for any time.
I'm not with it this morning. There in black and white - light refreshments from 8. Wake up Anth.
"served in the entrance cafe"
That's presumably the entrance corridor with a few tables. I think a 'PY" gathering would fill them!
