I'm back with some more pictures! It seems that I will not be posting pictures everyday like I had thought initially. In anycase, here are my most recent pictures.

This was taken on a bike/walking path which was very pleasent except for incredible amount of trash and broken glass on parts of this otherwise scenic ride. It is very disappointing. I thought this sign was funny because the poop is steaming.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (author for the Sherlock Holmes series) was born in and lived in Edinburgh. Doyle's father was an alcoholic and subject to large mood swings. In an effort to keep he and his sister in a more stable and positive enviroment, their mother sent to live in her friend's house which is about 5 minutes (by bike) from where I live. The house is currently gated off and the vegetation has taken over so the house can not be accessed. This is a view of the house from the side walk on Liberton Road. He is not generally publicized as a resident of Edinburgh, I'm not sure why. Perhaps he is too modern.

This little creek is about 20 m from the house. From what Bryan had found out about this area, this used to be a much larger body of water which sustained a mill about 50-100m from this spot.

This is a view of the house from the same spot where I took the last picture.
