Mon, 08 Sep 2008 02:39:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Flümo http://googlesightseeing.com/2007/01/17/uk-devolution/#comment-115795 Flümo Thu, 18 Jan 2007 18:20:51 +0000 http://googlesightseeing.com/2007/01/17/uk-devolution/#comment-115795 Thanks for your nice and kind words, Chris. As I do not frequent too many webforums or blogs I didn't expect HTML to work here. There's BBcode, textpattern and whatnot. I even googled for wordpress' comment syntax, but there are several, depending on the plugin used on the server. Since HTML (without the proper server-side processing) can even be harmful and there is no preview available here, I just tried to give it a shot with what I considered to be the most probable syntax. And failed. Sorry for that. No need to be rude though. Thanks for your nice and kind words, Chris.

I thought "NNW" would be clear enough ;-) And you are right. I finally found it [URL=http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_MAPS/0_map_edinburgh_1870_large.jpg]on this map[/URL]. To me, it looks too strange to be a simple cemetery, there are some pretty big structures. Is this some sort of "buriyng ground for important people"? James: Yes, that’s what I meant.

It looks too orderless to be a cemetary. Those rectangular structures could be ruins of houses - is this a disaster site left like that as a memorial? I googled for Calton Road in Edinburgh but couldn't find any details about it. What is this area just about 120m NNW of the scottish parliament building?
