Melville Drive
The most obvious remnants of Edinburgh's once extensive tram system are some former trampoles which were converted to street lighting after the routes closed in the mid 1950s. Melville Drive, which runs through the Meadows, has a complete set of these and a facing pair are pictured on 3 January. The fact that they are facing is a giveaway: lamp posts are usually staggered. How long before people are looking for remnants of Edinburgh's next tram system? Let's wait until it's built (and at the moment...)
