We go across a couple of crossroads and then come to a tram and pedestrian only section shortly before the Foot of the Walk stop. Of note just before the stop on the right is South Leith Parish Church which was the scene of a lot of archaeological work during the early stages of the project which required the exhumation of bodies which had been buried there thousands of years earlier.<\/p>\n<p>We then arrive at the Foot of the Walk stop and for a change its got platforms either side of the tracks \u2013 the only intermediate stop on the extension to have this style of stop. With the platforms also forming the footpath there\u2019s limited clearance here and it is the only stop on the entire line to have no shelters provided although the doorways of the adjacent Foot of the Walk Wetherspoons do provide some shelter. Despite the lack of shelters it has everything else you expect from a tramstop in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50901\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=50901\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-50901\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50901\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50901\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1.270-gp-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1.270-gp-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1.270-gp-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1.270-gp-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1.270-gp.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50901\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">270 \u2013 in its advert for Camera Obscura \u2013 is just seen departing from Foot of the Walk on its way to Newhaven.
