Bridge 0 1024 x 768 184K |
Two telephoto shots of South Bridge taken from outside Edinburgh Festival Theatre in Nicolson Street near Surgeons Hall. Take note of the time on the Tron Kirk clock... |

Bridge 1 1024 x 768 184K |
The second picture shows that about two minutes have elapsed and the clouds have drifted eastwards. The man in the jeans and blue sweater finally made it across the road, and the traffic has moved on. |

Bridge 2 714 x 864 119K |
Another day and another camera but from a similar vantage point, this time focusing on the queue of traffic. The long lens has foreshortened the perspective and telescoped the vehicles together. |

Infirmary Street Baths 1280 x 805 247K |
Infirmary Street Baths photographed from the balcony on a quiet morning. Original negative scanned again 2005 for a larger, clearer image. |
 | Domes 1024 x 527 61K |
Believed to be the Student Centre with Old College in the distance. Nothing to do with the millennium. |
 | Dome 542 x 768 89K |
Worth downloading if only to load into a paint program to colour in all those perspex windows. I don't suppose it looks anything like this nowadays. |
 | Old
College 450 x 600 51K |
Shows a view from outside Thin's bookshop opposite. This photo features two old compositional clichés. Knowledgeable photographers will spot them... |
 |
The familiar skyline of Edinburgh. Behind Braid Hill looms Caerketton. | |
 | High
School Yards 1024 x 768 217K |
Near the bottom of Infirmary Street, close to the Cowgate at the foot of St Mary's Street. They'd be Corporation houses then - dunno what they are now... |

Infirmary Street 885 x 1024 219K |
The street called High School Yards is round to the left. Infirmary Street takes a right-angle bend under the chimney from the baths boiler house and continues up to South Bridge. To the left of the chimney, steps lead up to Drummond Street. The gentleman walking up the narrow footpath recognised me from this website and introduced himself, thanking me for his desktop wallpaper. |
