Edinburgh  -  from Calton Hill

The view from Calton Hill looks down on:

-  Calton Jail (lower left)

-  The Bank of Scotland (upper left)

-  Edinburgh Castle (on the skyline - left)

-  Princes Street (centre)

Princes Street leads past the National Galleries (on the left).  St John's church  is just visible, very small, on the left of the street in the distance.
