Multiple bulbs out on pedestrian crossing at Hope Scott Garage, Lanark Road West. Approximately number 165. Your webform asks for too much irrelevant personal data. @edinhelp @edintravel

Not seen any other reference today to the drone show over Edinburgh Castle Last night. Presumably part of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and is a replacement for the fireworks. My blurry videos.

Given the amount of bar staff in @AthleticArms now porting moustaches, must be time to re-create this photo @Mr_Magoo_79

Woo Hoo! Confirmation from Edintravel that the pavement closure is not going ahead this week and has been postponed to mid August when the main demolition will start. @SpokesLothian @LivingStreetsEd @MerchistonCC
Signs are now up for the complete closure of Harrison Road bridge over old railway including the pavement. Suggested pedestrian diversion route includes rickety steps and uneven slabs. @MerchistonCC @SpokesLothian @LivingStreetsEd @CouncillorCowdy @davidfkey

The 2 signs that were advertising the pavement closure of Harrison Road north end were removed about Wednesday last week. Does that mean the indefinite closure is no longer going ahead today? @edintravel @MerchistonCC ?

Photos for an Open Street Map note on new bridge in Glen Coe. It's a bridge under a bridge or is it a footpath through a tunnel? Way: 1393185122 | OpenStreetMap

Still no signs of ANY work being undertaken on the Harrison Road bridge over the canal after 154 days. Council said bridge closed for up to 6 months, but given no work has actually started, it's likely to be much longer @MerchistonCC @davidfkey @CouncillorCowdy @edinburghpaper

Find it surprising the biggest area of yellow is the High Street and Cockburn Street.

In Open Street Map, is there a reason why you would map buildings as Points of Interest then leave a note like this? @OSMScotland @osmuk ? I'm stumped - unless it's AI openstreetmap.org/#map=18/57… (Loch Ness Highland Resort)

Before drainage improvements, the Meadows would overflow at the western end via the Dalry Burn, through Dalry (named for the Burn), and on to the Water of Leith. By all accounts the manure content of the Burn was high, which assisted farming in the Dalry area. The oldest recorded building in the area is Dalry Mills, possibly as old as 1478, which was also recorded as the first known paper mill in Scotland in 1590. The oldest building still existing is Dalry House, built in 1661. (Illustration courtesy of Canmore)

I've been updating Open Street Maps to include the paths in North Merchiston Cemetery. Can anyone tell me if this memorial has an official name? @FofNMC @DalryCemetery @GDCC_

I could be missing something, but this bridge seems to be missing something. No signs saying bridge is closed. @BalernoCC
The new “Green Bridge” across the Bravelaw Burn in Balerno has been installed. I would like to thank the Balerno Community Council for their leadership on this project. A great example of a community coming together to tackle an issue and enhancing their local environment.

Was out plotting the paths in Dalry Cemetery early this morning so they can be added to Open Street Maps. Managed to set the siren off 4 times. Must try harder next time.

Got to love Open Street Maps. Created 10 years ago. Nobody seems to have questions these.
