My Mum's Birthday Blog - Leith
As part of a birthday present to my mum and in preparation for my parents' visit in September I am going to dedicate a series of Edinburgh-related posts to my mum. And the places she likes from my blog we can then visit in real life.
I work in Leith which used to be a port town in its own right but was merged with the City of Edinburgh against its people's will in 1920. The people of Leith still consider themselves Leithers rather than Edinburgers. In Leith, the Water of Leith, Edinburgh's river that originates in the Pentland Hills, flows into the Firth of Forth, the estuary of the river Forth. All along the Water of Leith from the Pentlands down to Leith runs the Water of Leith walkway, a very nice and varied walking trail, which goes by my neighbourhood.

My Mum's Birthday Blog - Fountainbridge
As part of a birthday present to my mum and in preparation for my parents' visit in September I am going to dedicate a series of Edinburgh-related posts to my mum. And the places she likes from my blog we can then visit in real life.
The Union Canal connects Edinburgh with Falkirk, which is a town in the middle between Glasgow and Edinburgh, and which is famous for the Falkirk Wheel, a rotating boat lift connecting the Union Canal with the Forth and Clyde Canal. The Union Canal goes by my neighbourhood and features a cycle path that leads all the way to the West End of Edinburgh's city centre. The Union Canal is very pretty, with the best sections in Harrison Park and in Fountainbridge. It also featured in my story about the death of my smartphone.

London Is a Village
Coming home from an excellent weekend in Germany I find two text messages on my phone that make me smile.

My Mum's Birthday Blog - The Meadows
As part of a birthday present to my mum and in preparation for my parents' visit in September I am going to dedicate a series of Edinburgh-related posts to my mum. And the places she likes from my blog we can then visit in real life.
The Meadows are a big park south of Edinburgh's city centre and close to Edinburgh University's main campus (E6 on the map). They remind me a lot of the Prinzenpark in Braunschweig, because of all the BBQs, people playing cricket, football, and frisbee, or hanging out, playing music, drinking, frolicking.
