The first of four shots of this part of Stockbridge near the bottom of the steep main road down from Princes Street. Much of this road is still cobbled with granite setts. On the way down it changes its name as follows: Frederick Street, Queen Street Gardens West, Howe Street, South East Circus Place, Circus Place, NW Circus Place, Kerr Street, Deanhaugh Street, Raeburn Place - all in less than one kilometre. |

When approached from India Street, these tenements could be perceived as having a basement and a sub-basement. This is quite common in Edinburgh's New Town. However, the sub-basement is at street level as seen from North West Circus Place. A series of short stairways connects the two streets. |

The same red pillar box appears in this photo as seen from the stairs up to India Street. A single-decker LRT bus is trundling down the stone setts of North West Circus Place. The junction on the right is St Stephen Street. |

If you climb the stairs in the previous picture you'll enter India Street, a quiet New Town street where James Clerk Maxwell lived (see page 6 of this section). This old police box is, suprisingly, not besmirched by graffiti. |
