The Other Side of the Rainbow

I wanted to test my new superpowers and fly over Edinburgh to take some aerial pictures :)

 I was wandering in the wilderness.

This is not a good place if you suffer from vertigo.

David Hume and Appleton towers.

This is how my neighbourhood used to look like.

Then it was demolished :(

And now it looks like this.

Restalrig

The Hibs stadium.

Muirhouse.

My old neighbourhood :)

The Balmoral hotel. Muirhouse is lurking in the background, ready to jump the Balmoral :)

This might be another one of those intergalactic wormholes :)

The Hearts stadium.

This guy was ready to commit suicide :(

Hipster shot of Craigmillar :(

Beware of falling objects, or persons :)

hmm, I might move my superhero cave here..

Then I flew to Craigmillar :)

Edinburgh, Y U NO build blocks like these anymore??

This used to be in Leith.

It was infested with maggots :(

Has my mail arrived?

Woohoo! It is amazing what you can find from the streets :) (I also found some valium, but that is a secret)

New building coming up. I hope it is one of those grey concrete blocks :)

Wasteland.

Lovely building :)

I wonder if the adult learning place is in heavy use?

Then I flew back home :)

Only in my neighbourhood :)

I found this sign from the internets :) I think I will put it in our yard :)

Murder was the case that they gave me

I found this lovely travel tip to Muirhouse and Craigmillar :) This time I am going to check out Muirhouse, because it is too far from Craigmillar to visit them both on same day :(

"Whatever anybody says, keep well clear of housing schemes such as Craigmillar and
Muirhouse. The people who live here are truly the scum of the Earth. To call these violent,drug infested hellholes "third World" would be an insult to the decent populations of Africa, Asia and South America. The residents are dirty,lazy,Godless and ANGRY! Feral children run wild through the hideous warrens of 1960s concrete boxes(many of which ly empty and derelict) ingesting alcohol and class A drugs,emptying their systems of excess urine and saliva over walls and pavement alike. The only salvation for many of the adult population is to gather at the communal temple that is "The Gunner"(Muirhouse) or "The Castle Tavern" (Craigmillar). It is here that the miserable and infirm can gather to offer gifts (SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS) in return for copious amounts of "holy water" ( Tennants Lager) & various "house"spirits, before vomiting, stabbing or beating strangers ,swearing,urinating in public and finally kicking the living daylights out of their unfortunate (though equally revolting) spouses. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"

Sounds  just like a place for me :) Muirhouse is the 2nd and Craigmillar is the 4th most deprived place in Scotland (Restalrig in Edinburgh is 3rd, have to go there as well someday). I just needed some equipment for this journey:

Six pack of the cheapest beer money can buy, to blend in with the locals (too bad my tracksuit is at wash). One Heineken to enjoy afterwards.

A knife, if some poor person needs me to cut their bread :)

Report coming tomorrow :)
