A fish-eye view from Edinburgh Castle. Back then, in the 70s, you didn't have to pay to get in.

From the castle too, but this time with a telephoto lens. Castle Street is the short hill up to George Street from Princes Street. Nowadays it's closed to traffic at the bottom end.

I passed here recently, and it sure don't look like this no more. There seemed to be houses built where the left wall is in this photo. The worn steps were gone, and the cobbles were gone too, as far as I remember.

It looks rather different now, in 1999. In this photo there's empty plots of land. I don't remember that island in the river, either...

Photographed from the castle esplanade. George Heriot's school at the extreme top of the picture. The architecture is rather spoiled by the rectangular concrete construction... Then again, maybe it serves as a foil to accentuate the attractive buildings.

The Carlton Hotel is left of the bridge's south end, and the Scotsman Building is at the other side. Down below, in Market Street, newsprint is being delivered.

Old Toolbooth Wynd leading from the Royal Mile down to Calton Road. Regent Road and the former Royal High School are above, in the distance, on Calton Hill.
