Pilrig is a suburb of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The name probably derives from the ridge (rig) on which a peel tower (pil/peel) stood. There is evidence of a peel tower situated on an area of higher ground above the Water of Leith. Pilrig lies midway between Leith and Edinburgh, west of Leith Walk. It is split by Pilrig Street, which marks the division between the EH6 and EH7 postcode districts (also the old division between Edinburgh and Leith hence the name of the bar opposite being originally the Boundary Bar,then City Limits and now known simply as the Boundary). Along the north-east side of Pilrig Street lies Pilrig Park, within which is Pilrig House, the heart of the former estate of the Balfour family. The 19th-century Rosebank Cemetery is located at the west end of Pilrig Street, at the junction of Broughton Road.
Archaeological excavations in 2006 revealed evidence of an ancient fort thought to be Somerset's Battery which is indicated at this location in the Petworth Map, the contemporary map of the area at the time of the Siege of Leith in 1560 and on which the name Pelrygge appears immediately east of the fort. The archaeological finds are said to be a unique example of 16th century artillery siege works in the UK.

Can you believe how much we've worked on our technique?
Sunshine for everyone you know
Brian, as we work on scaring you to death
It's become a contest
Of stealth perfection
To always catch you off your guard
We won't have to walk too far
To hide behind a doorway
And burst out screaming your name
If you're outside for too long
If you're seeing clouds of grey
We'll keep seeing sunshine
Everyone you know, Brian, is quiet and crouched down
You haven't made it hard
For a point and click reaction through the lens of a camera-phone
Stealth perfection
To always catch you off your guard
We won't have to walk too far
To hide behind a doorway
And burst out screaming your name
If you're outside for too long
[Jon Loudon:]
(Behind every doorway you'll find us
You're making it so easy
Around every corner you'll find us
Behind every doorway you'll find us
You're making it so easy
You can't hide
Cause you know we'll always find you
It's alright
It's alright)
And I don't trust us either
(And it's alright
It's alright)
And I don't trust us either
Sunshine for everyone you know, Brian
Making the third verse the same as the first
Cause it works over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again
Stealth perfection
To always catch you off your guard
We won't have to walk too far
We'll hide behind a doorway
And burst out screaming your name
If you're outside for too long
We're behind every doorway
We'll burst out screaming your name
