Water of Leith

October 9, 2010

Belford Bridge over the Water of Leith

Kerstin and I had a wander down the Water of Leith in August. We found a few things to photograph. We were looking in particular for the 6 Anthony Gormley statues between the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art and Leith Docks. In the end we only found 2! One directly below the gallery and one at the end of an old pier at Leith Docks (there’s a photo of this one here).

Apparently at least 2 of the others had been knocked over by high levels of water in the river. There was another at the Gallery entrance which we saw the next day. As for the 6th, perhaps we just missed it!
