Thread Name: Folklore: Street names
Subject: RE: Folklore: Street names
For about half a mile the sides of the street have different names from the street as a whole, and the points where the sides change names aren't always even opposite each other. (Leith Roads is the deep shipping channel in the Firth of Forth, a mile out to sea).

I felt a quiet glow of folkloric national pride as I read this - and I'm not even Scottish.
