Hay Drive in the 1990's.
Niddrie is an inter-war housing scheme of south east Edinburgh. 80% of its tenements were built between 1919 and 1950. Many of the tenements were designed by city architect, Ebenezer James McRae.
One of the city's most deprived districts, regeneration has been ongoing since the late 1980s. The Niddrie Marischal area was first to be razed. Its tenements and high rises were demolished in the early 1990s and low rise homes were built in their place.
Niddrie Mains was demolished in the late 1990s into the 2000s. Parts of the scheme have been rebuilt but most of it is derelict land as of present.
Niddrie is often referred to as the rough part of town by Edinburgh residents. This is because of the social issues (such as crime) that have a tendency take place there.
