14 George Street The Dome

Late Afternoon This photo was taken on the last Thursday afternoon before Christmas.  The street was very busy, buses having been diverted from Princes Street onto George Street until the re-laying of tram tracks on Princes Street has been completed. Please click on the thumbnail image below to zoom out and see a little less of the traffic. ©

George Street When I first came to Edinburgh in 1963, the financial district consisted of St Andrew Square, Charlotte Square, and George Street which linked these two squares in Edinburgh New Town. Now many of these financial institutions have been converted to bars, Cafés and shops.  The building in the photo at the top of this page is now The Dome restaurant. It used to be George Street Branch of The Royal Bank of Scotland.
