In Pictures: A look at Picardy Place, Edinburgh

picardy-rc

This photo is looking roughly eastwards and is across the roundabout (which is actually more triangular so does that make it a triangleabout?!) and this space is due to be the site of the new tramstop (roughly where the skip is). The number 14 bus on the left is about to turn left to go down Leith Walk (a move which will be prohibited from the end of March when diversions are put in place). You can also see The Playhouse theatre (the building with the flagpoles) which opened in 1929 as a 3000 seat cinema; like all similar locations across the country this is currently closed until further notice due to the Coronavirus restrictions.
