Secret Edinburgh - urbex, street art, indie shops

Ok #Edinburgh peeps, I want to know about your favourite MUNDANE, hidden in plain sight things. You know the kinda thing: signs, pipes, drain covers, stonework, door-knockers, trees, bus stops, doorways, ornaments, gates etc that you like but suspect no-one else notices. Go!

The Scottish Landscape painter #SirWilliamMacTaggart (1903/1981) Lived here on #DrummondPlace #Edinburgh. Born in #Loanhead #MidLothian. Went to & also taught at the #EdinburghCollegeOfArt @SecretEdin

@SecretEdin Can’t find you? 😢

Can't guarantee I'll stick with it but I'm over in the other place with the same name.

@SecretEdin Salt an sauce

If I was to move over to t'other place, I think I'd like to change names. Secret Edinburgh doesn't feel quite right. But what? Alternative Edinburgh Unusual Overlooked Not just Edinburgh Castle Insiders Edinburgh?

@aljaroo1874 @cocteautriplets Yup, I think it has to stay

@SecretEdin @cocteautriplets I like Secret. 🫠😊

@cocteautriplets Aghhh, it's too long

@cocteautriplets I was thinking "Another Edinburgh" but leaning towards Overlooked Edinburgh

@lynncorrigan Ooh!
