The Book
Thank you to Peter Grootes, Best, The Netherlands
for allowing me to reproduce photos from his book:
'Photograph from View Album of Edinburgh
and District'
published by
Patrick Thomson, Cash Drapery Store, North Bridge, Edinburgh, around the
1890s.
Here are a few more
photos from the same book.

The View
This view looks along Princes Street from about
the position of the North British Hotel, but may well have been taken
from one of the earlier buildings that was on that site. The North
British Hotel opened in 1902.
The glazed area and gardens on the left of this
picture are the roof of Waverley Market, On the right is Princes
Street with the ladders for the passengers on the coaches and the
awnings giving shade to the shops on the north side of the street.
The
Scott
Monument is in the centre of this photo. |
