NT2472 : Lochrin Basin, Union Canal, Edinburgh
near to Edinburgh, Great Britain

Lochrin Basin, Union Canal, Edinburgh
A view along Lochrin Basin, essentially the eastern terminus of the Union Canal, from the footbridge accompanying the Leamington Lift Bridge. On the left the brewery site is a contractor's store, a pile of rubble and a new office block, but reminders of the former occupancy are still on the fence showing where brewery workers should assemble in the event of an emergency requiring evacuation of the site. On the right the old workshop buildings in Lower Gilmore Place now sit incongruously alongside the modern architecture of Fountain Court and Edinburgh Quay — or is it the latter that are incongruous by their domineering height?
