	Nicolson Sq 1024 x 665 155K	This is in the north west corner of the square, behind Marshall Street. The painted-on advertisements were still legible last time I looked.
	The Pleasance 1024 x 642 167K	How it looked in 1979. It will be rather smarter now, due partly to its proximity to the new parliament building.
	Pleasance 2005 e 1152 x 864 233K	A similar view 26 years later. The Flodden Wall has been around rather longer than that.
	80 The Pleasance Henry Willis 649 x 1024 111K	Also from 1979 is this picture of Henry Willis' premises at number 80.
	Flodden Wall Drummond St The Pleasance 942 x 1024 350K	A closer look at the old city wall. An old arched entrance has been closed up but fitted with a wee door and a tiny barred window, too high to see through. The old Police Box is comparatively recent, tens of years old rather than hundreds. In the 1979 picture above, the Pleasance was closed but Drummond Street was still open to traffic.
	Snow Park 1024 x 604 153K	Holyrood Park in the snow. The roundabout is near the Dalkeith Road entrance to the park, not far from the Commonwealth Pool.
	Recycle shop 468 x 600 86K	This is the Lutton Place door. Just round the corner is the front door in St Leonard's Street. The owner says, cut down on landfill and recycle your stuff. The colourful paint job on the side door caught my eye on a dull day.
	St Leonard's 834 x 613 87K	Smoky chimneys in the late 1970s. Photographed from Salisbury Crags. Montague Street, Rankeillor Street and The Meadows are all visible.
	St Leonard's Hill 522 x 768 123K	The road surface caught the attention of my wide-angle lens this day. Looking north towards Carnegie Court.
	St Leonard's 1 635 x 600 111K	It's hard to believe that these are steps to a Royal Park. This area looks rather different nowadays. The next picture (next page) is facing the other way...
