	Robin 1212 x 908 228K	Two photos of a robin. I didn't have time to change lenses but the robin allowed me to get quite close. I later cropped the image to zoom in.
	Robin 2 1280 x 941 301K	In profile the robin looks almost spherical. Pictures taken in St Cuthbert's kirkyard at the west end of Princes Street Gardens.
	St Cuthbert's 14 1015 x 1024 443K	The text on the notice board gives information about The Parish of Saint Cuthbert. It's mid January 2010 and the trees are bare of leaves affording the dramatic view of Edinburgh Castle.
	Castle (a) 1280 x 903 482K	It's not hard to realise that invading foot soldiers would be easily repelled. There are some well worn paths up these slopes, created by some modern visitors who sometimes get stuck or panic and have to be rescued.
	Castle (e) 1280 x 1108 512K	Defending soldiers might pour boiling oil or other unpleasant substances down on anyone trying to climb the castle rock.
	Festival Squ 7 1204 x 1080 303K	300m south of Princes Street's west end is Festival Square beside Lothian Road, opposite the Usher Hall. A giant video screen is linked to the BBC. Beyond, across the road, are the dubious pleasures of a Sauna.
	Princes Street Tramworks 2010 1280 x 982 303K	So, Princes Street is once again open to buses, taxis and cyclists. Actual trams will come later. Much later. Shopping is more pleasurable once again, apart from the Tartan Tat shops blaring amplified music and peddling crap.
	Rose Street Cop Car 1280 x 891 228K	The pedestrianised Rose Street at the back of Princes Street needs a police presence and this car is sufficiently small to allow it access to any trouble spots.
	Canning St Lane 1280 x 837 311K	There are many cobbled lanes and mews behind the houses and premises in Edinburgh's new town. This lane is sandwiched between Canning Street and Atholl Crescent Lane.
	Hanover Street 07 1054 x 1080 319K	This magnificent building at the corner of Hanover Street and George Street has been home to Lakeland for a while. They sell mainly up-market kitchen gadgets and tools.
	Thistle Street 1280 x 850 280K	Interesting old architecture in Thistle Street, between George Street and Queen Street.
	Mkt St - Wav Br 1280 x 850 344K	The next four photos were taken from North Bridge's west side. St Christopher's Inn stands on Market Street which continues past Waverley Bridge up towards Edinburgh Castle and the Mound.
	Station Roof 1280 x 808 406K	Part of Waverley Station's roof and wall with numerous stone arches.
	Station Roof2 1280 x 850 323K	Heavy Duty riveted girders dominate this view at the back of Edinburgh Dungeon.
	Waverley Br18 1280 x 884 336K	At one time I used to drive into the station and park my car while buying magazines and crisps. Officialdom would soon move me on now if I had a car and dared to park it in Waverley Station.
