Cowgate 16 1020 x 864 222K	A man sits on the steps of the Cowgate Clinic. Across the road a placard rather bizarrely announces Summer of Love (I thought that was in 1967) and also states "I love Shagtag" (which could be a music group - or maybe a sex game).
	Cowgate 17 1024 x 768 148K	A few yards away is this Keep Left sign at a traffic island. Obviously a driver failed to observe the sign and drove right over it. The Keep Left sign has tenaciously maintained its grip on the ground but is now somewhat distorted. I think it deserves a place in an art gallery.
	Victoria Street 25 1152 x 864 273K	I've photographed this street before but couldn't resist doing so again on this sunny morning. There were very few parked cars to spoil the view. The first of three shots shows the Rolling Stone Gallery, the Brush Shop, Zone Bleue and part of Victoria Terrace above.
	Victoria Street 27 1152 x 864 258K	This shot is primarily of Robert Cresser's Brush Shop, established 1873.
	Victoria Street 26 930 x 864 200K	The above image has  been cropped and enlarged to show more detail. Hopefully this working shop will continue for years to come.
	Cowgate 23 1152 x 864 229K	Suspend belief - rather than disbelief - for this one, or else take your belief somewhere else meantime.
	Cowgate 22 1152 x 864 264K	South Bridge as seen from the Cowgate in March 2003. Most of the fire wreckage has been cleared and there appears to be new patches of brickwork in the ancient old underbelly of the South Side.
	Cowgate 21 648 x 864 117K	In this west-facing view from the Cowgate we can see Edinburgh Central Library at 7-9 George IV Bridge.
