Meadow Lane 770 x 1024 272K	Just off The Meadows is this unusual building with two front doors. Much of the property in this area belongs to Edinburgh University.
	Meadow Lane 2007 1280 x 854 382K	Another view taken 2 years later.
	rebuilding of Lothian Street 1152 x 730 311K	Bristo Place which leads southeast from George IV Bridge used to continue straight on at a crossroads into Bristo Street, demolished and replaced by Bristo Square and Crichton Street carpark. Lothian Street used to lead into South College Street but, after these roadworks, traffic had to turn left into Lothian Street, now realigned to connect with Chapel Street via Potterrow. A right turn at the T junction turns west into Teviot Place which leads to the top of Middle Meadow Walk and Lauriston Place.
	Lothian Street '05 1152 x 864 263K	The same spot revisited about 25 years later. It's a slightly wider view showing the left hand carriageway. Just beyond Brighton Street on the left, there used to be a shop called Baird's that sold me nitric acid and other dangerous chemicals when I was a boy, as long as I had a note from my mum. The dome of Old College is in the distance.
	Potterrow 20 1152 x 864 338K	The graffiti in this area changes frequently and is (according to more graffiti a few yards south) officially approved. South College Street is around the corner at the end of the footpath.
	S College St 02 1152 x 864 233K	A splash of orange colour brightens up an otherwise bleak view at the crossroads formed by the pedestrian subway from Charlesfield, the Potterrow footpath and South and West College Streets.
	Montague St 01 1152 x 864 281K	This and the next picture photographed from Salisbury Crags. Montague Street has been pronounced 'montaygay' (with the emphasis on the 2nd syllable) by locals for many years. The long x10 zoom lens seems to flatten the perspective and give the image an isometric appearance.
	Rankeillor St 03 1152 x 864 275K	Just north of Montague Street is Rankeillor Street. The LRT double decker bus is in Clerk Street having just passed the lane known as Gifford Park. This area has many student flats being close to Old College and other parts of Edinburgh University.
	Forrest Road & Teviot Place	I remember this establishment as a coffee bar in the '60s but it's been a pub called Doctors for a few years now. This fisheye view shows both streets at this corner of this triangular city block. In effect it's a large roundabout.
	Arthur's Seat 68 InfraRed 1280 x 851 320K	The steps are part of the footpath from Holyrood Park Road. These monochrome pictures were taken on a digital camera using a Hoya R72 infrared filter which blocks visible light up to 650nm. (Nothing is visible through the camera's viewfinder.)
	Radical Road 20 InfraRed 1280 x 851 370K	This view is at the south end of Radical Road. To compose infrared shots it's best to do so on a tripod before attaching an R72 filter. Handheld shots will be hit or miss even with wide angle lenses, almost impossible with telephoto ones.
	Radical Road 21 InfraRed 1280 x 851 306K	This is also at the south end of Radical Road but facing back towards the start of the walk from the Queen's Drive road.
	Roundabouts InfraRed 1280 x 831 290K	Twin roundabouts connect Queen's Drive (foreground) and Holyrood Park Road. It's obvious from these photos that plants reflect more infrared light than inanimate surfaces.
	Appleton Tower 1280 x 854 207K	This long lens shot clearly shows the missing outer cladding.
	David Hume Tower 1280 x 854 240K	A fisheye view of this university building on the south east corner of George Square.
	Buccleuch Place Lane 00 684 x 1024 230K	The sunlight picks out the rough texture of the stone.
	Buccleuch Place Lane 01 684 x 1024 207K	Another view from the north end at the corner of Buccleuch Place.
	David Hume Tower Buccleuch Place 684 x 1024 131K	A wide angle view of this multi-storey tower.
	Buccleuch Place from Arthur's Seat 1280 x 889 366K	Looking down on this street from the top of Salisbury Crags. The Meadows public park is in the background.
	Appleton Tower 2 684 x 1024 129K	Some functional looking plumbing which has the appearance of being added later.
	Potterrow 22 1280 x 816 66K	A misty morning at this street in 2008. Potterrow's appearance has changed drastically since Parker's Stores was here.
	Police Box Richmond Lane 1280 x 886 177K	The other side states POLICE BOX ART GALLERY. It wasn't open for business when I passed.
	St Leonard's Street 1280 x 854 109K	Saint Leonard's Street goes up the slope on the right. To the left is Parkside Street which normally affords a view of Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat. Further left is a carpark and a street called Hermits Croft leading to the Innocent Railway Tunnel.
	George Square 10 684 x 1024 189K	Picture taken at the north west corner of the square, near the footpath to Middle Meadow Walk. This part of George Square survived the destructive madness of the '60s and thus we can still admire the interesting stonework.
	George Square 11 1280 x 934 241K	At the north east corner is the University of Edinburgh's Psychology Department.
	Potterrow 23 1280 x 854 336K	Potterrow Port, the pedestrian subway connecting Bristo Square to the corner of South College Street and West College Street at the back of Old College.
	Potterrow 24 1280 x 811 287K	The ever-changing graffiti adorning the fence at the east side of Potterrow.
	Potterrow 25 1280 x 921 281K	Two parking attendants walk towards the open mouth of the woman - whose image has an unusual photographic quality.
	Potterrow 26 1280 x 990 279K	Unkind motorists might think the writing-on-the-wall is appropriate for parking attendants, but without these guys the city would soon be at a standstill.
