Pilrig Street
An overbridge on the Caledonian's meandering goods branch from Newhaven to Leith Docks once dominated the scene here, running diagonally over a crossroads. Now only a practised eye can spot that the wall on the corner of Bonnington Road and Pilrig Street is a cut-down abutment. Behind it the commercial premises occupy the trackbed which was quickly flattened after closure in 1968 or so, but the embankment still exists at the other side of Pilrig Park see image 25918.
