I shared a seat in Princes Street with this gentleman. He reminds me of the actor Bill Fraser who played Sergeant Snudge in an old TV comedy series called Bootsie and Snudge.

There's a story that a visitor asked a local "Say, which one of these seats is Arthur's Seat?"

At the foot of The Mound, near Princes Street. There's also a cropped close-up with text which is just legible. The Rev A B Cameron also used to play the bagpipes - but not particularly well.
