A familiar sight to those passing through Haymarket. (Fisheye lens on Pentax DSLR) | |

The colony houses off Dalry road are overlooked by this quiet corner of the car and lorry park. The houses in the middle distance on the right are much newer and are on the other side of Dalry Road, overlooking the railway line. |

This old two-storey building is dwarfed by the office buildings in nearby Torphicen Street. |
 |
This view is looking to the east towards the financial district straddling the West Approach Road. | |
 |
This view from Morrison Street juxtaposes the old Electricity Board building with the more recent Edinburgh International Conference Centre. | |
 |
August 2009 and there are changes here. The Electricity premises have long since been vacated but the front wall has been preserved. Morrison Street is at the end of the road. The round building is the EICC. | |
|
Back at the city centre now. This view from Morrison Street juxtaposes the old Electricity Board building with the more recent Edinburgh International Conference Centre. End of this sequence. | |
 |
At the top of the little slope at the end of Dewar Place there's a little street on the left called Tobago Place which is now only a site entrance. | |
 |
Standing at the corner of Torphicen Street and Canning Street is this fine sandstone building, no longer used as a school. | |
 |
Across the road on the south side of the street lies this office building with room to spare. | |
 |
Cars huddle together on the crumbling tarmac, but not for much longer as this area is being redeveloped. St Mary's Cathedral's three spires dominate the view. | |
 |
This area is devoid of vehicles except for the yellow pickup truck. Behind the hoardings is Dalry Road and Haymarket junction. | |
 |
On the other side of the advertisement hoardings is the Haymarket junction, probably the busiest intersection this close to the city centre. | |
 |
Nature thrives at the back of the advertisement hoardings. The building whose roof is visible has a Bean Scene coffee shop at street level. | |
 |
The bottom end of Morrison Street leading down to Haymarket. To the right of Diane's Pool Hall is Torphicen Place and the Police Station. | |
 |
Between Palmerston Place and Manor Place on West Maitland Street is Coates Place. A double decker LRT bus heads from Haymarket past the end of Torphicen Street towards the West End and the city centre. Down below in a basement there is evidence of an unofficial residence or overnight shelter. There's a gap in the railings and the little wooden door under the footpath is broken... |

 |
Comparatively recent housing developments surround the railway line west of Haymarket Railway Station. This is the north side of the line facing east. Edinburgh Castle can be seen in the distance. | |
 |
An unusual building retained after the demolition of the surrounding industrial area. | |
 |
The big chimney no longer seems to serve any practical purpose other than being a familiar landmark. However, a new hotel planned for the area may be sufficiently tall to obscure the view. | |
 |
The entire chimney is visible in this shot, looking across the western end of Haymarket Railway Station. A notice on the platform advises passengers to alight here for Edinburgh Airport. There's a bus service to the airport from outside the station, as well as a taxi rank. |
