East Old Dock [Leith]
These rails ran parallel with the edge of East Old Dock (right) and the dockside warehouses on the left which are now chichi restaurants and shops. Whether the cobbles (setts, in strictness) had to remain because of the rails or vice-versa I don't know - it depends on the timing - but it has resulted in a bit of unintended preservation. Photographed looking west in January 2011. The approach of the Edinburgh, Leith and Newhaven Railway from Trinty came along the road off to the left.
