A History Of Edinburgh
EP2 Powderhall and St Marks
Season 1, Ep. 2
•
Another micro-history of the Powderhall and St Marks area in Edinburgh. We stop for a chat with a local business owner with a very interesting property, and we learn about the origins of the name Powderhall. It's an area with a lot of industrial heritage so we'll learn about a few of the more interesting local endeavours too.
Recorded out and about so expect a little background noise here and there!
