The south west face of what remains of Edinburgh Corporation's tram depot and works in May 2015. The now detached power house chimney is probably not tall enough to qualify as a landmark but I hope it stays (and it has done remarkably well so far). The bridge I'm standing on crosses the Powderhall branch.

The preserved octagonal chimney at the former Shrubhill Tram Depot seen looking towards Leith Walk on 19 November 2017, with ongoing construction activity on the site gradually moving west towards the camera. The rusting rails of the Powderhall branch are visible bottom right.

I'm not sure what an engine yard is but I'm guessing whoever named this development on the depot site thought it had something to do with trams. The third 'rail 'in the middle suggests cable tram track; I wonder if this was deliberate?
