There seems to be a hair salon somewhere around here named: Life of Hair & Art

Note: this navigation aid - aka airmark=beacon - does seem to correctly be tagged as VOR, and not VORTAC. There is a maproulette activity going on for the latter at the moment, and I found a photo of this from Y2003 that still seems to match recent Bing satellite photography. https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/62541 ; http://www.trevord.com/navaids/gow.htm

There is a crossing guard here during school morning and afternoon of school days.

Holyrood Gait and the roundabout at the south end of it here (and similarly at nearby Queen's Drive) have sidewalk=both tags -- but they are also enclosed by neighbouring mapped highway=footway (and some highway=cycleway that implies foot=yes in the UK) ways. Perhaps the sidewalk=both key on them could/should be replaced by sidewalk:both=separate ?

There's a clocktower on the Edinburgh Futures Institute building here; it faces southwards towards the lawn and Porters Walk.

OG Spuds has new owners and name changed to Fatt Spudz
(Yes that’s with two t’s and Spudz with a z - horrible!)

I'm planning to delete building 949648854 that was here. From recent aerial drone imagery, the colouring of the treetops does appear unusually different in a rectangular shape here, but squinting at it closely, I don't think it shows a building (all of the upper exposed surface is treetops, I'm fairly sure).

The footpath mapped by this way does not turn northwards at the west end; it turns slightly south and meets the exit of part of what I think is the hotel building: way/844532280

The upper half of the first kanji (symbol) of the three in the Chinese (zn) name of the Hing Sing supermarket seems is much simpler in the OSM name tag and in the older-looking, white signage on the building.

The blue signage features a more-complex upper half for that symbol, and is on a blue background. Does it make a significant difference to the name? (I cannot read, and find it difficult to enter/lookup, Chinese kanji -- but will try if no-one else is able to inspect this for a while)
