Missing Edinburgh right now.

let there be light!

I didn’t realise that Donaldson’s School for the Deaf was sitting empty. Hopefully they’ll find a good use for the building. I’m aware of plenty of other listed buildings in Edinburgh that are in a state of disrepair; Lauriston Place Church is one that comes to mind. It’s looking pretty sad if not rather atmospheric at the moment. It looks like it ought to be home to some pathetic vampire in an Anne Rice story or be used as a special building for wizards in Harry Potter. It’s a pity that reality is more prosaic than that.
