A seemingly unremarkable piece of green land in Edinburgh's Bonnington area is, in fact, a living reminder of the First World War, bearing a mark that is still visible today.
As the capital saw this year's first warm and sunny days, the lawn at Bellevue Crescent street revealed a round mark correlating with the exact spot one of the 23 bombs that a German airship dropped on Leith and Edinburgh during the night of April 2 1916.
Known to history as the Zeppelin Air Raid, the terrifying night witnessed the unwelcomed airships L14 and L16 drop bomb after bomb on Leith before moving towards the capital's city centre.
