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!

Can't guarantee I'll stick with it but I'm over in the other place with the same name.

[Secret Edinburgh - urbex, street art, indie shops @SecretEdin]

@WimJansensPerm Provocative.
The answer is of course, just salt.

[Secret Edinburgh - urbex, street art, indie shops @SecretEdin]

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?

@aljaroo1874 @cocteautriplets Yup, I think it has to stay

[Secret Edinburgh - urbex, street art, indie shops @SecretEdin]

@cocteautriplets Aghhh, it's too long

[Secret Edinburgh - urbex, street art, indie shops @SecretEdin]
