5th September Edinburgh continued

Waterstones book store internal staircase, a woodworkers delight
Buildings on the Leith Water




The Dean Village with Edinburgh skyline in the background.

On Sunday had visited the Jim Clark Museum in Duns. Jim Clark being multiple Formula One World Champion and a local farmer from Chirnside, Duns. The locals had formed a “Ditches and Dykes” club which explained the hazards encountered when driving spiritedly around the local roads.( Dykes being the traditional dry stone walling around the fields. Very well done and a credit to the locals who put the museum together.
