Bingham is a bustling community at the hearts of edinburghs "golden 3 schemes" magdalene, niddrie and of course, the ever immpressive bingham,
Traveling to bingham is easy, the number 4 bus will take you straight to the heart of bingham, the staff on the number 4 bus treated me like one of there own as i was given a sunday mail and a club sandwich by the staff on the buss, this was washed down with a refreshing G&T, this perked me up perfectly and i had a tingle in my fanny as the number 4 roared down duddy row and into bingham,
luckily for me the bingham fair was on with top band dire straits performing live, this was going to be the climax of my trip to bingham,
i decided to make it to the thoroughfair of the shop, i was greeted perfectly by a middle aged asian man who was both polite and curteous, beside the shop is a very nece little post office, i decided not to venture in as for some reason a large que had formed of strange looking scruffy people who couldnt speak properly.
after my vist to the shop i took a stroll round the outskirts of bingham along a snaking cycle path, the artistic minds of the youths in bingham had created some masterpieces in the football field, burnt out cars with spray paint and the local logo which read "YBC YA CUNT (YOUNG BINGHAM CREW),
as i made my way through bingham place i was greeted again with a wonderfull sight, the adults were performing some kind of drama, and carrying out a very well done savage beating of another scruffy man, the props were amazing as were the special effects,
another thing which caught my eye were the ammount of well groomed K9's roaming the streets, they were that well behaved their owners let them out on there own.
i made my way to the fair were i caught the end of dire straits set, the view was spectacular, the sun was setting over bingham to the sound of "local hero" .

Good to see the travel forum getting some hang time .
Its so quiet on here sometimes that you feel like you stuck in transit in an airport waiting for some connections..
Loving this thread by the way , rabid dogs , junkies , radges , town fairs this place sounds like
the perfect tourist destination..
What are the other must sees in Edinburgh ive Niddrie is simply beautiful , Wester Hailes has a great shopping precinct and
a court , Muirhouse havent been there but heard great things about it apparently the best waves next to Portbello..
