	Grove Street Students 1280 x 869 304K	iQ Student accommodation coming soon. proclaims the sign. The lower case i in iQ is presumably a fashion trend rather than a typo. Intelligence Quotient may not be the intended meaning of the pair of letters.
	Grove Street Students1 954 x 1050 238K	It seems like this isolated tenement is being refurbished whilst new buildings are erected round about it. The student population in this locality will soon increase significantly. Pricing will determine if flat-seekers will move here from Marchmont and other popular areas.
	Grove Street Students2 904 x 1024 262K	A full frontal view of the tenement. The stonework looks in good repair and the windows seem quite new. Even the drainpipe has a new coat of paint.
	Grove Street Students3 1280 x 849 293K	Further north along Grove Street and there's still a view of Rosemount Buildings behind the yellow crane. Marco's establishment is long gone now.
	Grove Street Students4 1280 x 762 213K	The view south along the road to Fountainbridge at the far end. The banner on the hoarding gives a web address whose six letters resemble a highly compressed version of the company's mission statement.
	Grove Street Students6 1280 x 854 300K	Riveted girders support the bridge over the Western Approach Road. Behind the site, Rosebank Cottages and Rosemount Buildings will soon lose their evening sunshine and their (in most cases) recently acquired view to the west.
	Grove Street Bridge 12 1280 x 874 293K	At the other end of the bridge looking north east. Behind the next bridge at Gardner's Crescent is the squat cylinder of Edinburgh International Conference Centre. The Western Approach Road passes through the financial district before ending at Lothian Road.
	Grove Street House 02 669 x 1080 171K	The tiny, wedge-shaped house on the edge of the former railway bridge. The balcony should afford fine views over the Western Approach Road.
	Grove Street Bridge 14 Fountain Court 718 x 1080 136K	Diagonally opposite and sharing similar geometry, exaggerated by a wide angle lens.
	Morrison St 09 1280 x 850 283K	Obviously the effects of caffeine haven't been enough to extend activity to brushing on some varnish (or paint as with the two adjacent shops).
	Morrison Circus 1280 x 791 251K	Morrison Link connects the West Approach Road with Morrison Street. This circular street branches off the former.
	Haymarket 15 1280 x 828 329K	St Mary's Cathedral stands behind the advertising hoardings overlooking the Haymarket junction and train station.
	Haymarket 16 1280 x 850 319K	Another view showing part of the colony houses off Dalry Road and the old chimney along Distillery Lane on the south side of the railway line.
	Haymarket 17 1280 x 659 219K	Morrison Street is on the other side of these tattered signs.
	Haymarket 18 1280 x 869 179K	Inside the gents toilet in Morrison Street. There will be many travelers and football and rugby fans who are glad to make use of the Victorian style facilities.
	Dewar Place L5 1280 x 895 339K	An odd little building not far from Torphicen Place Police Station. The development opportunity referred to on the sign is larger than is at first apparent...
	Dewar Place L7 1280 x 850 347K	At the right edge of the grey-painted building, peering over the wall into what's often called a 'hole in the ground' in Edinburgh. (The local baby-boomer generation will remember the old Synod Hall.)
	Dewar Place L8 1280 x 850 368K	Half way along the wall in Dewar Place Lane. Dewar Place is on the right and Torphicen Street is in front, behind the fence. The tall buildings are in Canning Street.
	Dewar Place L9 1280 x 818 307K	A closer look. On the right is the red sandstone shell of the former Electricity Board offices. (I once knew someone who lived in a flat occupying this space.)
	Dewar Place 9 919 x 1080 292K	Stone steps lead down into a former basement. At the back, on the left, is the building which once was Torphicen Street School.
	Dewar Place 11 1280 x 788 327K	Reconstruction work continues behind the preserved shell of the old Electricity Board. The support girders will be removed once there's a building behind the front facia again.
	Dewar Place 12 963 1080 429K	Looking directly south towards the junction of Dewar Place, Morrison Street and Gardner's Crescent. On the right, a ramp leads down from Dewar Place Lane to allow lorries and bulldozers in and out. Thousands of cars pass this corner, their drivers oblivious to what lies behind the fence.
	Torphicen Street 6 824 x 1080 244K	The corner of Atholl Place and Torphicen Street as seen by a fisheye lens.
	Torphicen Street 7 808 x 1080 243K	A wee bit round the same corner, further into Torphicen Street.
	Distillery Lane, Haymarket 718 x 1080 267K	At the end of the lane the gates are chained and locked - but that didn't stop two separate women standing on the stone blocks and climbing through the hole in the gate within a minute or two of each other. I looked discreetly away so as not to embarass them.
	Distillery Lane 2 1280 x 850 357K	The east end of this lane as seen from Rosebery Crescent off Haymarket Terrace.
	Donaldson's 1280 x 850 301K	Haymarket Terrace changes its name to West Coates as it reaches the former Donaldson's Hospital / Donaldson's College (school for the deaf) pictured here.
	Haymarket 23 1280 x 850 280K	At the Haymarket junction showing the railway station on the right and Ryrie's pub on the left.
	Haymarket IR 1280 x 854 320K	A few paces away I used Infra Red to capture this image in front of the disused building at Clifton Terrace overlooking Haymarket. Apart from the weeds flourishing in the cracks, there's evidence of homeless people sleeping at the building's entrance.
