Gorgie East

The 'wee Gorgie pilot' J88 No. 68335 shunts Gorgie East goods yard in 1961. The unusual peaked-roof wagons conveyed grain from Leith Docks to the North British Distillery sidings, just north of Gorgie East - this large grain distillery is still in business, although the rail connection is long gone.
