	South Bridge 0 1024 x 768 184K	Two telephoto shots of South Bridge taken from outside Edinburgh Festival Theatre in Nicolson Street near Surgeons Hall. Take note of the time on the Tron Kirk clock...
	South Bridge 1 1024 x 768 184K	The second picture shows that about two minutes have elapsed and the clouds have drifted eastwards. The man in the jeans and blue sweater finally made it across the road, and the traffic has moved on.
	South Bridge 2 714 x 864 119K	Another day and another camera but from a similar vantage point, this time focusing on the queue of traffic. The long lens has foreshortened the perspective and telescoped the vehicles together.
	South Bridge 13 1280 x 854 318K	Early afternoon, June 2009.
	Infirmary Street Baths 1280 x 805 247K	Infirmary Street Baths photographed from the balcony on a quiet morning. Original negative scanned again 2005 for a larger, clearer image.
	Domes 1024 x 527 61K	Believed to be the Student Centre with Old College in the distance. Nothing to do with the millennium.
	Dome 542 x 768 89K	Worth downloading if only to load into a paint program to colour in all those perspex windows. I don't suppose it looks anything like this nowadays.
	Old College 450 x 600 51K	Shows a view from outside Thin's bookshop opposite. This photo features two old compositional clichés. Knowledgeable photographers will spot them...
	Old College, Braid, Caerketton 1152 x 864 95K	The familiar skyline of Edinburgh. Behind Braid Hill looms Caerketton.
	High School Yards 1024 x 768 217K	Near the bottom of Infirmary Street, close to the Cowgate at the foot of St Mary's Street. They'd be Corporation houses then - dunno what they are now...
	Infirmary Street 885 x 1024 219K	The street called High School Yards is round to the left. Infirmary Street takes a right-angle bend under the chimney from the baths boiler house and continues up to South Bridge. To the left of the chimney, steps lead up to Drummond Street. The gentleman walking up the narrow footpath recognised me from this website and introduced himself, thanking me for his desktop wallpaper.
	Infirmary Street 2010 1280 x 932 271K	Sadly, the baths have long since shut down. Currently in 2010, the Commonwealth Pool is closed for renovation and Warrender Baths needs the roof fixed since glass fell onto a swimmer. This building is now converted to homes and has a To Let sign showing.
	South Bridge15 1280 x 850 285K	At the corner of Infirmary Street and South Bridge, opposite the entrance to Old College. Thin's long established bookshop is now Blackwell's, and Flip Clothing has turned into Tesco Express.
	Festival Theatre 4. 1280 x 889 407K	Four pictures of the Wall of Fame which celebrates the building of the Edinburgh Festival Theatre. The tiles were produced by the Edinburgh College of Art in June 1994.
	Festival Theatre 5. 1598 x 1080 452K	Three photos cover all the signed tiles, saved to suit a large monitor (1920 x 1080) for legibility without scrolling.
	Festival Theatre 6. 1576 x 1080 418K	I don't recognise too many celebrities' names here but I do remember Mackenzies Sports next to the old Empire Theatre.
	Festival Theatre 7. 1920 x 1033 493K	Sean Connery's signed tile is easily spotted in the leftmost column
