‘Scene’ at Edinburgh Haymarket railway station on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Haymarket, as it is usually known lies just to the west of Edinburgh Waverley station.

 

It has the advantage to the photographer of being open to the elements without the handicap of Waverley's overall roof.

 

These images are the work of friend Peter Rose who took them recently whilst on holiday in Scotland. They are reproduced here with his permission and my thanks.
