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.

The West End of Princes Street as seen from Edinburgh Castle. The Caley Hotel is just visible on the left, as is Corstorphine Hill at top left. Behind St John's church in the foreground is Binn's store, and in the distance behind are the twin Gothic spires of Daniel Stewart's College.
