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!
Look up, you see more. 'pipes' clock. George IV Bridge #Edinburgh

No, the mural hasn't been stolen! We've taken this whole section down to clean and re-varnish it, before adding a completely new blue train. It should be back by the end of the week. Big thanks to Chris @RutterfordArt and Dave! – at Edinburgh, Scotland

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?
