Beware - this will be even more boring and irrelevant than usual. (Yes, that is possible.)
With the ticket for Livingston now useless, the number 36 bus took me on a circuitous route through the Southern suburbs, passing the Church Hill Theatre where Ramsay Dumbarton had once played the Duke of Plaza Toro, before terminating at the Ocean Centre in Leith. The return to the centre was made on foot, by way of the Water of Leith Walkway, the Warriston Path and the Rodney Street tunnel, arriving at the foot of Scotland Street. Unsurprisingly there is no number 44, the odd numbers reaching 43, but the even ones finishing at 26. Round the corner at the top there was Drummond Place, but no attempt was made to spot the nudists of Moray Place. All of this. will be gobbledygook to the vast majority, for which I apologise.
