Two of the best shops in this splendid street, namely the Rolling Stone Gallery at 42 and The Brush Shop at 40. The former specialises in surreal art from Poland and the latter specialises in, yes you've guessed it, brushes.

Up above Victoria Street is Victoria Terrace which leads in turn to Upper Bow. This cobbled cul de sac leads up to the Lawnmarket. At the bottom, set into the church building is this charming little house.

Photographed from the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle is this Grassmarket hotel. George Heriot's school can be seen in the middle distance on the left, with the squat clock tower of the infirmary partially hidden behind it.

Looking over the top of Johnston Terrace and the buildings of the Grassmarket towards the symmetrical red sandstone building of Edinburgh College of Art. In the distance are the Pentland Hills with the Hillend artificial ski slope visible at the left behind Braid Hill.
