At the top of Cockburn Street, looking towards the Tron and the High Street. This attractive building is occupied by a shop selling crystals. |

Snoopy 800 x 600 89K |
Taken in Holyrood Park not far from the palace. There were all sorts of kites, many much bigger than this one, but I particularly liked this shot of Snoopy's take-off. |

If you come up St Mary's Street and cross the Royal Mile then you are on Jeffrey Street - as seen here from Calton Hill. The Pentland Hills are in the distance, with Howden Glen right of centre. |

Lady Stair's 06 1280 x 851 293K |
I revisited Lady Stair's Close about 30 years later. The last time I had a Yashica 35mm SLR with an ultrawide lens; this time I used a Pentax digital SLR with a fisheye lens. |

Lady

Number Two, to be precise. The hand-painted sign is legible in the original scan of the negative, before the size was reduced. Re-scanned again in 2005. |

Lady Stair's 07 763 x 1024 240K |
