Portobello Tunnel, Edinburgh - May 08

[MonkeyGirl]

This runs for about a quarter mile underneath Portobello, Edinburgh. Nothing fancey, but a nice wee find I thought, since there's bugger all else round this way

It flows off into the firth o forth sea:

I only just found this thread. Nice pics there. It looks completely different to the stuff we have round here. I would have thought places like Edinburgh and Glasgow would have stacks of drains??
As BigLoada has said we now have a huge list of sites to do down here now. I'm sure we will get them done someday!!

Yep, good pics Monkeygirl … If you're stuck for other Edinburgh drains, I can suggest a book which has a section on the Water of Leith sewers. I bought it because it's got info. on train tunnels (Pincheck knows which one I'm talking about!) I won't post details of the sewers on the open forum since I know how secretive/ protective the drainers are, but there are names, locations, plans, cross sections and references to more information … nuff said.

Drop me a PM if you like …
