Below is a photo of one of the largest mobile cranes in the UK, which is currently situated in Leith Street. The road is due to be shut for three weeks to assemble, position and dismantle it.
And it is certainly an impressive sight, as you can see from the fact that it dwarfs the Balmoral hotel in the background. Having not yet seen the crane in operation, however, the most impressive thing about it is that anyone should think that putting a short, covered walkway to the left of the crane is any sort of safety measure. If that crane is going down, we're all going down with it, a flimsy piece of metal is not going to protect anyone!
