Craigmillar tower blocks

Also, after visiting Niddrie, me and Robbie went down the road to Craigmillar. We visited Craigmillar Court, which is one of two tower blocks in the scheme and is a sister-block to Peffermill Court.

When we went in I expected the block to be fairly dirty but I was wrong. The foyer was spotless, and the lifts, stairs and landings were all well kept too. The only problem I could see was poor lighting in some areas. Personally I don't know what the lifestyle of these blocks is like but I can imagine that it must now be better and safer to what it must have been like years ago.

Anyway, here are the pics:

The landings (floors 9, 13 & 14)

Kirkgate House

Kirkgate House is a 17-storey tower block which sits just off the bottom of Leith walk. I don't know much about this block as there's next-to-nothing about it on the internet. But anyway, me and Robbie went up it (the same day of the Niddrie visit). We got the lift up to the 12th floor and then walked up to the 17th (top).

Here are the pics:

Scary view down 17 flights of stairs!
