St
Leonard's Police Station 1152 x 864 303K |
Both the police station and Salisbury Crags which tower overhead feature in Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus books. This is the view along Rankeillor Street from Clerk Street. On the Radical Road footpath below the cliffs, a person clad in white is just visible. |

Crosscauseway 1152 x 864 260K |
One street further north towards the city centre, and Salisbury Crags still dominate the background. This is the view from Nicolson Street. The top of Arthur's Seat is just visible, as are one or two people who have climbed up the 251 Metre (822 Feet) hill. |
