Manchester/Scotland 2025 - Edinburgh Stockbridge Circus Lane

As mentioned in earlier post, we did managed a 15minutes detour to visit Circus Lane which was just down the main street.  It was one of those hidden gem places of Edinburgh for it's charming small alley and building charm. But I was here for a different reason. You see, Circus Lane was a location featured in the series Good Omen, which was based on one of my favourite book by one of my favourite Terry Pratchett. And I really really like the two main characters inside the story. So I just wanted to stand there and absorb the vibe of the story :P

 

This is the famous view of the lane. It is actually just a short alley, but I guess it hold it's own charm. There weren't many people there that day, so I could managed to get some shot of the empty street with the church at the end of it. I can't remember if it drizzled a bit that day, but the shine on those cobbler looking street was lovely. 

There are residential buildings on both sides of the lane. In the series, Crowley actually has his Bentley parked at the side of one of the houses here in Season 2.  I'm looking forward to Season 3 coming up in May as I'll be visiting one of the bookstore that is rumoured to be featured in the series. I hope the rumours are true. Then again, I doubt I'll ever regret visiting a bookstore :)

View of just the houses on the lane.

They kinda looked like warehouses at certain section really. 

Some were more residential looking than others, with gardens and roses planted in the front of their house.

Above is the church at the end of the lane. Again, we didn't went inside. We just walked there and walked back again. 

I did managed to take a few notable nice doors found along the lane. Here is house #49. Love that the number is in black and white mosaic and on the floor itself as the first step into the house. I love the black door too, and the bird knocker at the top. I want to think that it' a crow, cause Sandman the series was also recently a thing in the book/fantasy world :P

The house with the pink flowers in front was #14. I'm gonna imagine that this is my little house in Scotland :)  cause my birthday is on the 14th :P

Nearer to the end where it met the main street, there were also some buildings that looked more like office buildings. This was where I found the above sign. I just thought it looked cool. 

Signing off with a selfie of myself on Circus Lane. I guess I should have taken it with the view of the church instead. Agh! Oh well, we settle for what we can get in our life. I doubt I will walk there again, unless it's on one of my any trips to Scotland where I would get the time to walk the whole length of the waterway! Then for sure I will stop by here for brunch or lunch, and wander into this lane again to take a better picture :P
