    I am surprised they didnt route the tram to go through all thewe gorgeous places. Tourists only get to see a bit of Sighthill and the affluent Broomhouse area when they arrive.

    I lived in BROOMHOUSE Broomhouse crescent, 30 odd years ago, right at the top in a bungalow just before the underpass that took you to the shops at Sighthill, i drove down Broomhouse Crescent last time i was in Edinburgh, not been there in over 20 years, and the playing field for the old primary school is a housing Estate 😮 How things change 😢

    Great wee vid. Brings back many memories, especially the last few shots of the high flats in Wester hailed & sighthill. Growing up in Dumbryden, one of the seven estates that make up Westerhailes was great. Tough areas, a lot of poverty but as a kid it was brilliant. There were so many kids, you were never short of someone to play footie with in the carpark.

    I watch this and although it may not be attractive to other viewers, it makes me happy because it reminds me of a time growing up where Edinburgh was simply Edinburgh...it was home. Now, most of these buildings are gone, and so are the people that lived in them. Pushed further out the city whilst the land their former homes stood on continues to be bought by filthy rich property development companies - in cahoots with the local council etc - who build "luxury apartments" that more than likely lie empty half the year when they're not let out through air b&b for 1k a week, or development after development of "student accommodation" with a Sainsbury's local and a Costa coffee occupying the ground floor units. Horrific

    Most people think of Edinburgh as the Castle and Princess Street. Sadly, our capital city has deep pockets of deprivation and poverty. The media refuses to highlight it and instead focus on Glasgow’s issues. It’s sad. We need to look after all our poor citizens in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
