	Morrison Street carpark 1280 x 851 215K	The colony houses off Dalry road are overlooked by this quiet corner of the car and lorry park. The houses in the middle distance on the right are much newer and are on the other side of Dalry Road, overlooking the railway line.
	Haymarket Bear 1152 x 864 218K	A bear walks along Dalry Road towards Haymarket and apparently considers having a haircut.

	Dewar Place Lane 03 1152 x 864 256K	This view is looking to the east towards the financial district straddling the West Approach Road.
	Dewar Place 8 1280 x 974 266K	This view from Morrison Street juxtaposes the old Electricity Board building with the more recent Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
	Dewar Place 7 1280 x 854 296K	August 2009 and there are changes here. The Electricity premises have long since been vacated but the front wall has been preserved. Morrison Street is at the end of the road. The round building is the EICC.
	Dewar Place 8 1280 x 974 266K	Back at the city centre now. This view from Morrison Street juxtaposes the old Electricity Board building with the more recent Edinburgh International Conference Centre. End of this sequence.

	Torphicen St School 1280 x 830 285K	Standing at the corner of Torphicen Street and Canning Street is this fine sandstone building, no longer used as a school.
	Torphicen St 4 1280 x 834 246	Across the road on the south side of the street lies this office building with room to spare.
	Haymarket Carpark 08 1280 x 854 231K	Cars huddle together on the crumbling tarmac, but not for much longer as this area is being redeveloped. St Mary's Cathedral's three spires dominate the view.
	Haymarket Carpark 09 1280 x 854 178K	This area is devoid of vehicles except for the yellow pickup truck. Behind the hoardings is Dalry Road and Haymarket junction.
	Haymarket Carpark 13 1280 x 854 231K	On the other side of the advertisement hoardings is the Haymarket junction, probably the busiest intersection this close to the city centre.
	Grove Street ex Marco's 1 1280 x 938 238K	Previously when walking from Morrison Street to Fountainbridge Marco's gym blocked the view of the brick-built Rosemount Buildings.
	Grove Street ex Marco's 4 1280 x 960 395K	Most vacated land in Edinburgh seems to have houses constructed on it rather quickly in recent times (2008). Meantime, behind the pile of rubble, there's a new view of Rosemount Buildings.

	Brandfield Street 1280 x 854 301K	Big changes have taken place at the end of this street with the demolition of the brewery and the building of new houses.
	Upper Grove Place 1280 x 854 285K	Upper Grove Place lies 90m north along Grove Street and the changes here include the loss of some green space. (Views with the blues from a resident) The other end of Upper Grove Place is at Springside.
	Grove Street House 1280 x 827 251K	Other pictures of this house and the adjacent bridge can be found on Fountainbridge page 4. The One way street connects Fountainbridge with Morrison Street leading to Haymarket.
	Grove Street Bridge 11 1280 x 812 252K	Looking south towards the Fountainbridge end. Where Marco's health club once stood, new buildings are going up between the Western Approach Road and Rosemount Buildings.
	Coates Place basement 684 x 1024 231K	Between Palmerston Place and Manor Place on West Maitland Street is Coates Place. A double decker LRT bus heads from Haymarket past the end of Torphicen Street towards the West End and the city centre. Down below in a basement there is evidence of an unofficial residence or overnight shelter. There's a gap in the railings and the little wooden door under the footpath is broken...
	Haymarket Yards 02 1280 x 951 270K	Comparatively recent housing developments surround the railway line west of Haymarket Railway Station. This is the north side of the line facing east. Edinburgh Castle can be seen in the distance.
	Haymarket Yards 04 1280 x 932 317K	An unusual building retained after the demolition of the surrounding industrial area.
	Haymarket Yards 05 768 x 1024 300K	The big chimney no longer seems to serve any practical purpose other than being a familiar landmark. However, a new hotel planned for the area may be sufficiently tall to obscure the view.
	Haymarket Yards 06 788 x 1050 163K	The entire chimney is visible in this shot, looking across the western end of Haymarket Railway Station. A notice on the platform advises passengers to alight here for Edinburgh Airport. There's a bus service to the airport from outside the station, as well as a taxi rank.
	Western Approach 4 1280 x 960 423K	This road, built on former railway lines, splits/merges here between the bridge over Dalry Road and the Dundee Street ramp. Drivers are warned to beware of foxes. No doubt the old railway embankments provide a secluded route for foxes.
