Sewer Vent by the Water of Leith Walkway
This is the gas vent for the 1864 interceptor sewer that runs parallel to the Water of Leith. It vents foul and compressed gases safely into the atmosphere.
Stink Pipes

Stink pipes or Stench pipes are found above sewers and are there to vent off gases from the sewers below. Most stink pipes date from the Victorian period.
