RE: A lovely weekend in Edinburgh enjoying Saughton Park and the Colinton Tunnel

Wow seriously sensational gardens but the artwork in the tunnel was brilliant!

So much talent and time went into creating those masterpieces- even the one that even looks far more professional that what I could do! 🤣

Sort:  

Aye - the gardens and tunnel are both great. Its brilliant that they are right here in the city where we live !

Yeah definitely.

My old friend from many ears ago was a prison guard at Saughton...
Never went there myself when I was there- Saughton, not the prison...🤣

Lol - the prison is just a few blocks up the road from the park. I've never been in the prison - I'm glad to report !

Well glad to hear thats 2 of us then!

So I imagine that the prison would be pretty old too..?

Maybe one day you could do a drive by with your camera shooting out the window- for Hive purposes ofcourse...🤣

There is actually a river path that goes around the back of the prison, so its pretty easy to get pictures of it from there. Its huge - way bigger than you can see from the front.

Must be pretty creep to be able to get that close to it in a secluded woody area....if you know what I mean...Thats if it still operating?

I wonder how old it is?

The architecture must be pretty awesome too.
