Grateful thanks to Lucy Gallagher for inviting me to take photos from this (east) fire escape as well as its companion on the west side. The rear of the west side of Livingston Place is in view, as is Arthur's Seat on this mostly cloudy day in June 2011. | |

From the west fire escape Edinburgh Castle is visible to the north west. In the centre of the picture is Quartermile at the old Royal Infirmary. | |

Also from the west fire escape this is the view north. Behind the concrete university library building stands the dome of McEwan Hall. | |
| Finally, this is Google Earth's view of the Sick Kids and Sciennes Primary School. Most of the buildings have been modelled in 3D. |
