The government is letting so many historic buildings go to rack and ruin now

I attended Niddrie Primary School between 1982 and 1987. Mr Fleming was my teacher. Loved him and the janitor too! Played for the school team, etc… Even attended the 28th Boys Brigade in this school as well.

I when to that school brilliant primary school it was I was born in 3 hay drive

Iv been in there and it’s definitely worth the visit. Emotional to see how they lived and what happened to them

next time put the music a little bit quieter thanks

Miss tulloch was my teacher😁🎉

Cheers for the video went to old niddrie mill in the 60s memories😁🎇

My old depot ❤

I would love to go visit this place and places like it. That place undoubtedly has many tales to tell.

My kids use to go to this school

Very cool 😎 place 👍👍👍

I worked there for a while, I remember Carberry Ward, Eden Day Unit, but have forgotten the names of the other wards. I used to walk miles as I worked on different wards and took clothing to the sewing room and documents to the main building. There was an underground maze of corridors that I was told was for transporting deceased pations to the mortuary. I was a fascinating building, and has such an interestiing history.

What is the music in this video?

Great to look back on, my gran was in one of the wards many years ago

Old school is creepy

Went there 04-08. Mad to see it all spooky like that

am at the hew one and this scares me

So this is the first I hear of Mary kings close. I looked up close... but this seems a lot bigger & nicer than what I would’ve imagined. It’s like an underground shotgun house if you will. Which just means same width from front to back. You could literally shoot a gun from front to back door in New Orleans shot gun houses we still have today. So we’re they homeless was Mary homeless or taking care of people ? I want to know more but when I look it up not much beside the rats & underground walk way

Amei ♥️

Some good memories there 👌🏻

I worked here as a chef 1981 to 1984 . Would be nice to re visit the kitchen

Omg

Thanks for the video, Ive posted it with the FULL story on dreamteamdownloads1(dot)com I visited this many years ago when it was first reopened, before it was all 'tarted up' for tourists. There was only a few other visitors & It did NOT look like the pics shown. It was VERY dark, dank, gloomy and depressing and you could feel an atmosphere of sadness and despair. It was also very creepy and our torches caused shadows which made it even moreso. It only cost £6.50 entry fee

The new one is way better

Is this the one in Mayfield?

i agree the video is fab,,, building was great just the teachers inside it i didn't like,,, although Mr. Kent and i made up and i said sorry about two years ago,,,,

That was my school shame its gone the new school is better GREAT WORK ON THE VIDEO

I went to this school from from 57 to 62 favourite teacher was miss Gilmartin, she used to take us on trips regular, we even visited her at her home for film shows and lessons

i went on a tour here, the picture at 3:15 of the incline leading to the end of the tour. something tugged my pant leg, i told my mom to cut it out i dont believe in ghosts.. shortly after walking behind her (with NOBODY else behind me or wind etc) 2 much harder tugs pulled on the same spot as the first tug, i ran out ahead of the tour guide and others. short little story about this place, did i believe in paranormal stuff before, NO. after..... very confused.

I've seen it embankment view rip millerhill yard it's okish now

I SAW THAT

good one

What's this song called ?

Great video. A depot I was a regular visitor at but alas how things change. Here's hoping it has a good future!

nice work bud

Awsome. It helps a lot to understand the place. I m going to Edinburgh and I m a bit claustrophobic. I was unsure about visiting the place. Now I know I can do it. Thanks for sharing

What music is this?

fab tour !

Creepy to see this, but glad to say this is now my home (converted into 15 flats). The listed frontage of the building remains (complete with memorial in the garden and spire on the roof), I'd love to know more about the history of the building and surrounding area if anyone wants to share!

this was actually a private tour me and a group of friends paid for very much worth it thank you George Topping im very happy you enjoy this video much appreciated

Thank you for putting up this video. I am unable to walk and would it difficult going there myself. However, this is the next best thing - Thank you! What is the music called and who composed it?

love this tour fantastic place deffo reccomend it

my primay will probably become like that. My primary school is closing down in august. The memories are now just going to be rotted away. I wan loads of competitions in the school and one day I might go and have a look, So then all those memories can come flying back

Creepy as fk

like to go on that tour

Haunting pictures and music, and a site that was once busy. I remember the yards when they were in operation in the early 1970s.

I think GTA IV had a lot more abandoned buildings.

I was there in the 70.s I can still remember every inch of the place

I was there until it shut down a few years ago, I was the last primary 7. I miss it in these photos it looks rather creepy but when it was used it was so warm and inviting.

thanks for the video i went there in the late 1940s then on to lismore school as i lived in bingham broadway.an old teacher nearly strangled me there one day , but i sure didnae tell my parents that ,as i would have been given a belting when i got hame . Duncan.
