Castle
Trades 800 x 538 125K |
The Castle Trades Hotel was a hostel for 'down-and-outs' in the Grassmarket. |
 |
Salvation Army |
Now belonging to Edinburgh College of Art. Attractive stone lettering. |
 |
The Vennel |
Because the sunlight revealed so much
detail, I thought it worthwhile making a larger
version available. It's 1024 x 1420 pixels and 256K in filesize. It's a picture I'm rather fond of and only saw for the first time recently. It's never been printed and was probably taken in 1977. |

Vennel 2 |
This time the viewpoint is on the Vennel, with Edinburgh Castle visible at top right. |
 |
Vennel 3 |
Looking down the steps to the Grassmarket. The triangular grids of metal are the supports for the seats for the Tattoo on the castle's esplanade. |
 |
Vennel 4 |
This was taken at the bottom of the Vennel, from the Grassmarket. The beer bottle just happened to be there; I didn't put it there - honest! |
 |
Grassmarket |
Taken from the bottom of the Vennel, this colour shot shows Edinburgh Castle in the background. The gentleman at the bus stop probably didn't realise my wide-angle lens would capture him. |
 |
Heriot's |
George Heriot's school is at the top of the picture. Below, and in front is a variety of architecture. |
