Isn't one of the bits Wolseley Terrace? Or have I made that up?

[Jay]

No, Bellybabe, you haven't made that up ..... I have a friend who lives there ....... I should have remembered that!

Piersfield Terrace.

Cadzow Place.

Earlston Place (at Abbeyhill), Dalziel Place (a bit further on from Earlston Pl. heading east and if you're counting Moira Terrace as part of london Rd, Inchview Terrace.

And the wee block with the Golden Gates pub on it is Meadowbank Place.

You need to think outside of the box and think about moving away from porty (the place) towards musselburgh you will pick a few more up there.

Honestly, the things I do... I walked to work today (east end of Portobello High Street to west end of Queen Street) and counted all the minor street names on Portobello Road and London Road. They are (in order):
* Inchview Terrace
* Moira Terrace
* Piersfield Terrace
* Piershill Place
* Wolseley Terrace
* Jock's Lodge
* Wolseley Place
* Hillend Place
* Parson's Green Terrace
* Meadowbank Place
* Dalziel Place
* Earlston Place
* Cadzow Place
* East Norton Place
* Brunton Place
* Leopold Place.
Apologies if I missed any out.

Things get really silly at Smokey Brae, where opposite sides of the road have different names.

Incidentally, it works out at approximately six and a half street names per mile - surely some kind of record.

Doing all this meant I was a lot later getting into work than I intended, but at least I've done my 10,000 steps. That means I can have a sweet sherry this evening with a clear conscience.
