Niddrie

Edinburgh

Former housing estate, Greendykes. The current map has this as houses. Housing stock in Niddrie was very poor and it seems that much of the area has been levelled. There are lots of new Scandinavian looking blocks of flats in some parts. No doubt this "field" will be built upon soon. (There are new houses behind the camera.)
