Site of Chancelot Park former home of Leith Athletic 1900-1904 and 1919-1924 , now known as Lethem Park

This is a house called Bonnington Brae, with a small cottage adjoining, recorded from the early 19th century and demolished around 1930 when two blocks of tenements were built on the site. The 1908 OS map shows the house as "Manse" with a church built just to the east of it. John Mackenzie JUNNER, SSC, lived there for a few years until he died in 1863.

The pillars of this substantial bridge (but not the deck) are still in place on what is now a cycle path. I am guessing that it was for transporting rain from the fields on one side of the rails (now allotments) to the flour mill on the other side?

The cut-off remains of the steel ends of this (and the other nearby footbridge) over the old railway are still in place and easily accessible from the now-cycle path
